Robin,

I guess I have a few holes in my repertoire -- I didn't know that Weill was a symphonist, always associating his music with 20's Berliner decadence, smoke-filled clubs, Gustav Klimt, Bertold Brecht, Lotte Lenya, etc. rather than the Philharmonie.

I've played Die Dreigroschenoper, Kleine Dreigroschenmusik, and bits of Mahagonny, but that's about it.

Others?

Best,
EC (the Knife)
