Vienne-Paris-Hollywood

Description

The captivating meeting of singer Isabelle Georges and pianist Jeff Cohen around the timeless melodies of musicals: between classical and cabaret, poetry of exile, both popular and scholarly. A tribute to the Jewish composers who fled Nazism and were exiled in France or the USA. Korngold, Glanzberg, Weill, or Hollaender are names that all music lovers know, composers whose "hits" are whistled. These artists forced into painful exile, nevertheless offer us radiant melodies and songs that testify to their joy of living and their desire to create, mischievous or poetic nods in the face of intolerance. Isabelle Georges and Jeff Cohen invite us to walk in the footsteps of these admirable men, moving from classical music to cabaret or cinema.
