Lin Jaldati et le chant yiddish en RDA
Abstrak
This article focuses on the singer Lin Jaldati (1912-1988), a Jewish communist and concentration camp survivor, who moved to the GDR in 1952 with her husband, the pianist Eberhard Rebling. It is not easy to see her art as belonging to any form of avant-garde, given that she was part of the cultural elite for more than three decades in the GDR and that her work consisted of reviving a past repertoire in danger of disappearing, according to the programmatic formula “Doss lid is geblibn”. Yet the context in which this undertaking took place makes it a notable exception, which could be labelled as “avant-garde”, given the almost total annihilation of Jewish life and Yiddish culture in the GDR, as well as its attempt to combine Yiddish tradition with contemporary influences – a paradoxical avant-garde, in short, which an analysis through the prism of gender makes even more interesting.
