- Summary:
- Lovers of Klezmer and Yiddish music are treated to performances by vocalists Chava Alberstein, Myriam Fuks, Shura Lipovsky, Karsten Troyke, the KlezRoym ensemble and a host of talented accompanists. Playing to a packed house in Brussels in 2005, their mournful and ecstatic tunes continue to evoke a rich tapestry of European Jewish life from the Middle Ages through the Second World War. Dance-happy rabbis, starry-eyed lovers and the longing for distant homelands are but a sampling of themes within the expansive canon. The jubilance and suffering of the songs attest to the history of the Yiddish language as the mouthpiece for European Jewry on topics as diverse as religion, politics and love. They move us with their celebrations of life in the face of unimaginable hardship.
