'Mein Idishe Momme' - Hanna SKARŻANKA

Hanka Ordonówna escaped from Warsaw, being under German occupation, in 1940 and found a shelter at home in Vilnius, being... under Soviet occupation at that time. There was a theatre which with "opened arms" welcomed the famous soloist. They obviously played only what Russian censorship allowed them to play. In the group of artists, Ordonówna met a young woman of a striking beauty, who was beginning to act and sing publicly. They liked each other and the older one handed over her two great songs to the younger: "Mein Idishe Momme" and "Callecita de mi barrio"; her greatest hits. Hanna Skarżanka (1917-1992), that was the name of the young actress, listened to her lady-tutor attentively and accepted advices how to treat the musical material and how to interpret the words. Skarżanka kept 'Mein Idishe Momme' as a main point of her recitals all her life through.

Outstanding interpretation of the great song about the mother's love to the child who tragically got lost.
