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 crosspollination 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.
