RE: Who first said

Can anyone help a friend of mine  with an attribution? A Canadian journalist
ascribed the description of Jewish music as ?laughter through tears? to
Shostakovich. But it?s much older than that, isn?t it? Can the phrase be
traced back to anyone in particular, or is the source lost in the mists of
time?

Let me know please if you have any ideas
