5.0 out of 5 stars I pick this one, November 29, 2007

By	Nina Shishkoff "mycologist" (Mount Airy, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm sure I haven't heard all the recordings of "The ThreePenny Opera", but of the ones I've heard, this is the best, both in performance and packaging. To have the lyrics in both German and English is tremendously helpful.
