Schulhoff/Korngold/Desyatnikov: The Yiddish Cabaret:

Description

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. This recording highlights the fascinating cross-pollination then taking place in the music of Eastern and Western Europe.
