COMING UP ON NPR'S PERFORMANCE TODAY - MAY 6 - 13, 1996 Thursday, May 9 Hour 1--Kurt Weill (VY-ehl) and Lotte Lenya would seem an unlikely couple: he a cerebral, well-educated composer, she an uninhibited dancer-turned-actress.

Martin talks with Lys Symonette (LEES see-mo-NETT), Lenya's accompanist and musical adviser, and co-editor of "Speak Low (When You Speak Love)," the letters of Weill and Lenya written throughout their intense romance and collaboration from 1924 until Weill's death in 1950.
