About This Song
About "Candide, Act I : Bernstein: Candide, Act I: No. 14, I Am Easily Assimilated (Old Lady's Tango)" by Christa Ludwig
Bernstein's Old Lady tangos with survivor's glee, and Ludwig relishes every sly inflection. The music struts and winks, but beneath the cabaret brass lies exile's sting—assimilation as both farce and tragedy, danced with a grin that never quite reaches the eyes.
