June 4, 1971-an historic musical evening in Vienna, a city famous for its historic musical evenings. Here on a beautiful summer night, the best of two musical worlds came together for the first time. Europe's leading chanteuse Greta Keller and America's only chansonnier Rod McKuen joined in a magic concert which highlighted each of their talents to the fullest while blending two individual styles into a captivating new musical entity.

more hearts and minds than those of any other poet in contemporary literature. As a performer, Rod McKuen's one-man con- certs are sell-out attractions wherever he plays and those unable to buy a seat to see him in concert, can enjoy him on television specials filmed in the United States, England, Holland, and Austria. From his home in Los Angeles, Rod runs a growing book publishing-recording com- pany and Animal Concern, a foundation to save endangered species and promote humane treatment of domesticated ani- mals and wildlife. In the future, there are plans for Rod to adapt his poetry books for motion pictures and to direct and produce films. A documentary dealing with his life and performances is currently being filmed and several major recording projects chronicling his creative career are in pre- paration. New poetry books by Rod McKuen include "Pastorale," "And To Each Sea- son," and "Beyond the Boardwalk." RECORDED LIVE IN PERFORMANCE AT THE BRAHMS-SAAL, VIENNA, JUNE 4, 1971
GRETA KELLER is one of those few per- formers in the world who can be called "a legend." With charm, personality, gla nour and pure talent she has dominated the world of music and entertainment for decades since her debut as a childstar with the Volkstheatre in Vienna, the city of her birth. Spending her teenage years as an . studying dance, actress in Vienna learning French, dramatics, and voice German, and English-she was preparing for her debut as a cabaret singer (the cabaret was the mileau of all great Conti- nental performers seeking to reach an audience). While appearing in the Viennese production of the musical "Broadway" Greta met a young girl working in the chorus-and together they listened to the newest gramophone records and prac- ticed their singing... the young girl was named Marlene Dietrich. As Dietrich went on to become an international star, Greta Keller likewise soon found herself known around the world. Enthusiastic audiences greeted her singing in Vienna, Prague, Ber- lin, Paris, and finally London where she made her first records and starred in her own BBC radio series. America beckoned next and Greta appeared on Broadway in "The Fourth Little Show" in a role created by Libby Holman. She co-starred with Rudy Vallee on radio and soon had her own pro- gram. Concert tours, broadcasts to the Allied troops during World War II, and tele- vision appearances followed in rapid suc- cession. While other singers were slightly apprehensive about television in its in- fancy, Greta recognized its great future and was one of the first to regularly appear on the medium. She opened her own night- club in New York City and continued to sing in concert halls around the world. Cur- rently living in Vienna, Miss Keller spends several months each year in the United States performing frequently either in con- cert (such as in New York's Lincoln Center) or in cabarets (New York's Hotel Stanhope presents her several times a year). Cur- rently in the planning stage is a new off- Broadway one-woman show to showcase her talents. She is active in the recording field and "An Evening in Vienna" repre- sents one of a series of new Greta Keller records soon to be released.
Both Greta Keller and Rod McKuen traditionally appear only as solo artists when performing on stage-rarely, if ever, do they combine each of their programs with a second artist. The talent of each is in itself so strong, so dynamic that a sharing of the spotlight only would serve to diminish the impact. But the mutual love between Greta and Rod added a new dimension to their artistry as they appeared together for the first time any- where in the Vienna concert captured on this recording. For years, each had ad- mired the talent of the other. Rod would write songs for Greta-and Greta would introduce the songs throughout Europe giving the poetry and melody of McKuen new life. As they
