Ima ou la mère dépossédée
Musical Heritage of the Jews of France
SERGE KAUFMANN: IMA OR THE DEPOSITED MOTHER SUITE YIDDISH, MEMORAH, NSEHAMA Composer, radio and television man, journalist, producer and director, Serge Kaufmann occupies a special place in the music world: he wrote many scores, music pages chamber, symphonic, concertante, dramatic, choreographic and vocal. Serge Kaufmann is not only "a composer but a Jewish composer who offers us shreds of an exploded memory of which he feels one of the carriers - as if these pages of partition were rolled up and became another Torah, that where a nameless God speaks in a luminous way, which allows him to be heard in the night "(Alain Duault). This eighth volume of the collection "Musical Heritage of the Jews of France" presents four essential works of Serge Kaufmann: the "Yiddish Suite" in an intimate version for cello and guitar, then, for the first time in CD, the string trio " Memorah ", the sublime" Neshama "for solo cello and finally the cantata" Ima or the dispossessed mother ", a cry of pain expressing the quintessence of the musical art of the composer.
