Tuesday’s lunchtime recital at the Four Seasons Centre was given by soprano Sara Schabas and pianist Isabelle David backed up by some (mercifully concise) musicological/historical background from Robin Elliott. The concert was in two parts. The first celebrated the work of Austrian-Jewish composers active in Vienna in the first third of the 20th century. The second was a song cycle in Yiddish celebrating the Jewish immigrant experience in New York.
