Notes and Editorial Reviews
By juxtaposing Leonid Desyatnikov’s contemporary song settings of Yiddish
texts (offering a glimpse into Jewish life in Warsaw during the Weimar
Republic) with a pair of chamber works by Schulhoff and Korngold, which
also date from this troubled period between the wars, the present
recording highlights the fascinating cross-pollination then taking place
in the music of Eastern and Western Europe. With soprano Hila Baggio as
their featured soloist, members of the Jerusalem Quartet bid us ‘come to
the cabaret’ to savour a whole range of stylistic approaches and
emotional experiences of the rarest kind.
