Background and recording

Marianne Faithfull had already performed The Seven Deadly Sins live at St Ann's in Brooklyn, but it was only after working with Dennis Russell Davies on 20th Century Blues that the idea of recording the opera came to her. Dennis Russell Davies agreed to collaborate again with her, and the album was recorded in June 1997 at the Vienna Konzerthaus with Dennis Russell Davies conducting the Vienna Radio Symphony orchestra.

The recording also includes other songs by Weill & Brecht like the Alabama Song and songs from The Threepenny Opera, which Marianne Faithfull also performed live in 1992 at the Dublin Gate Theater, playing the role of the prostitute Jenny and interpreting the famous Pirate Jenny song.
