Product Description

This is an arrangement of "Mack The Knife" as played by Liberace in concerts around the world.  This was one of his "signature song performances"; where he played it in various styles; as a Viennese waltz in the style of Johann Strauss, in a Mozart music-box style, as a rhumba and boogie-woogie styles.

"Mack The Knife" is a song composed by Kurt Weill for a 1928 music drama The Threepenny Opera (German: Die Dreigroschenoper). The song has become a popular standard recorded by many artists, including a US and UK number one hit for Bobby Darin in 1959.

Dick Hyman recorded an instrumental version in 1955. "Mack the Knife" was introduced to the United States hit parade by Louis Armstrong in 1955, but the song is most closely associated with Bobby Darin, who recorded his version at Fulton Studios on West 40th Street, New York City, on December 19, 1958 for his album That's All (with Tom Dowd engineering the recording).

Billboard ranked this version as the No. 2 song for 1959. Darin's version was No. 3 on Billboard's All Time Top 100.  In 2003, the Darin version was ranked #251 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list.  On BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, pop mogul Simon Cowell named "Mack the Knife" as "the best song ever made". Darin's version of the song was featured in the films Quiz Show and What Women Want. Both Armstrong's and Darin's versions were inducted by the Library of Congress in the National Recording Registry in 2016.
