On the Cantorial Feature, two very nice selections by Cantor Arthur Koret. Born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1916, he sang in the choir of the Emanuel Synagogue and the Rabbi suggested that he become a chazzan himself. After his studies were completed, he became Chazzan of the synagogue in 1948 and served there for 38 years until he retired in 1986. He passed away in 1990. On today’s cantorial feature, we have two selections from a 1954 album, his first recording. He is accompanied by the shul’s choir.
