This CD is dedicated to the songs of the Jewish communities living in Northern France in the second half of the 13th century. During this troubled time spanning the burning of the Talmud to the expulsion of 1306, Jews shared much of their daily life with the Christians, as well as a common taste in literature, monuments, the sounds of cities and fairs, their joie-de-vivre and popular music.

Though not really answering your question, this may be of interest - not least because Montserrat Figueras is in fine fettle.

My own family is of Sephardic Jewish origin so this is of more than academic interest to me.

Not sure about this DP although it always moves me to remember that the (non-Jewish) German composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann banned the Nazi radio from playing any of his music, apart from his string quartet based on Jewish themes! (source Erich Grunberger: 'A Social History of the Third Reich'). Needless to say, his music went into something of an eclipse during the period of the Third Reich and it's amazing that he survived at all. The mayor of Leipzig, Carl Goerdeler joined the resistance to the Nazis (he was later executed) when the statue of Felix Mendelssohn was removed from outside the Town Hall while he was away on holiday.

Maybe not Flemish exactly, but what about Luys Milan? Jew by birth, Christian by faith, nobleman by aspiration,  poet, composer, virtuoso.

That being said, I’m sure that there was some Franco Flem wallah who was seriously interested in Jewish occult stuff, Kabbalah, dybuks & co., and his music is full full of it symbolically speaking, if and when I remember who I’ll post. If he doesn’t exist, he should.
