On the Cantorial Feature this week, two very nice selections by a fine Cantor of the preceding generation, Cantor Abraham Brun. Born in Poland in 1909, he was an established chazzan at the outbreak of World War II. He survived imprisonment in the Lodz Ghetto and then Auschwitz. Coming to America after the war, in 1951 he became Cantor of Temple Beth El of Long Beach, New York where he served with great distinction as chazzan and later cantor emeritus. He passed away in 1998. These two selections are taken from a fine 1960 album made for Moses Asch’s Folkways Records.
