This recording is devoted to the musical, poetic and cultural heritage of the Jews of Italy. The tradition of which they are the heirs can still astonish us today with its overwhelming richness, this exuberant world reaching one of its peaks during the Renaissance. A prayer sung to the theme of La Folia, a rollicking song in Yiddish about a fire in Venice, poems in Italian for the celebration of Purim or Pesach, dances designed to celebrate life's important transitions...All this is a musical affirmation of the intensive, uninterrupted exchange between Italian Jews and Christians and the Jewish communities from all over Europe, with their customs, their songs and dreams, for whom Italy represented a land of refuge and hope.” All scans are of the actual item.
