On this week’s Cantorial Feature, two very nice selections presented in honor of the 16th yartzeit of my late mother, Roslyn Shor, z”l. A great lover of Cantorial music, we have in her memory two selections by her favorite Chazzan, Sholom Katz. Born in Romania in 1914, he survived the Holocaust by his voice when a German officer heard him sing and spared him. Arriving in Washington in 1947, he became Cantor of the Beth Sholom congregation, and my Mom had the opportunity to hear him davven many times. Leaving the shul in 1957 to pursue full time concert and recording work, he continued to live in Washington until he passed away in 1982. Our families continue our friendship to this day.
1. L’Dor V’Dor-Accompanied by the Seymour Silbermintz choir and recorded for Westminster in 1953.
2. Hinei Ma Tov-Recorded in 1963.
