The Cantorial Feature has two very nice selections by the great Chazzan Moishe Oysher (1907-1958):
1. Aneinu (Answer Us O L-rd) recited on fast days. This was left over from the Tisha B’Av program where time constraints did not allow time to play it. This recording is taken directly from the soundtrack of the film “Overture To Glory” which starred Oysher and was released in 1940.
2.Shema Yisroel (Hear O Israel). In honor of the reading of the Parsha V’Eschanan last Shabbos where the words of the Shema are first uttered by Moses here is a fabulous Cantorial rendition of the Shema from the Shabbos Musaf service, which was added to the davvening in the 5th Century! This was recorded in 1954.
