A complete list can be found at www.kwf.org. Since I don't have any
connection with that organization, I would recommend that you consider
ordering from them. Besides the numerous Weill compositions which have
been praised again and again, the set certainly has a lot of stuff that
deserves equal attention. For example, Lenya recites the poem "The
Children's Crusade" and the above mentioned "Kafka" stories, excerpts from
_Brecht on Brecht_ or Songs from _Mother Courage_ (Eric Bentley said they
are even better sung than those by Helene Weigel).
Anyway, enjoy!
