On the Cantorial Feature, two very nice selections by probably the most famous Cantor of all time, Yossele Rosenblatt. His yartzeit was observed last week. Born in the Ukraine in 1882, he came to America in 1912, after serving congregations in Munkatch and Hamburg. He was a prolific composer and recording artist, leaving many recordings and by the early 1920’s he was one of the most popular singers in America. He was appearing in a series of travelogues for Fox in Palestine, where he passed away of a heart attack at the age of only 51 in June, 1933. Here are two of his most famous compositions:
1. Halleluyah (Psalm 113)-Recorded for Victor in 1921.
2. Yishtabach-Recorded for Victor in 1919.
