On the Cantorial Feature, two very nice selections by a most unusual Chazzan, Cantor Leib Glantz. Born in Russia in 1898 he was a gifted singer and composer. His style was very unusual because of the very high setting of his voice and his use of trills and other techniques. After davvening in Europe he came to the United States in 1926 and served in the New York area before accepting a prestigious position in Los Angeles where he davvened for many years before settling in Israel in the late 1950’s. He passed away in 1964. On this week’s Cantorial Feature, two of his most famous compositions, part of series he did for Victor in the early 1930’s:
1. Shema Yisroel-1929
