On this week’s Cantorial feature, two very nice selections by Cantor Ari Braun (1934-2010?). Born in Jerusalem, he was for many years the Chief Cantor of the Israeli Defense Forces. He also served congregations throughout Israel and concertized extensively around the world. He passed away a few years ago, but I have not been able to pinpoint the actual date. On today’s program, two very nice selections from various points in his career:
1. L’Keil Boruch-This was the winning entry in the Israeli Cantors Festival held in 1974. This is the actual concert recording.
2. V’Yirushalayim Ircho-From a 1986 recording.
