Adrienne Haan
Adrienne Haan sang Weimar (and slightly later) cabaret songs at last night's rather strange Israel Broadcasting Authority - Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra concert. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuaY2Cd9Cts) The entire second half of the program was hers, mostly with a full orchestra behind her, though two or three songs had only the more-traditional piano accompaniment. She provided a continuity talk in English, part of the strangeness.
Haan is built like a swimsuit model who still competes in swimming matches. Her dressmaker should love her, and her hair (or possibly wig?) stylist is a genius.
Her voice singing these songs was uncannily similar to that of the magnificent Raymonde Abbecassis (http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.co.il/2014/01/cultural-differences.html ). I found a description of Haan calling her a "belter." Perhaps that's it.
"Belter" did amuse me. To science fiction readers, a "Belter" is a person who lives between Mars and Jupiter, making a living from asteroid mining.
But none of those exist, while Haan and Abecassis pleasurably do.
