On the Cantorial Feature, two very nice selections by Cantor Moshe Taube. Born in Poland in 1927, he was saved as a teenager from the Holocaust by being one of those on “Schindler’s List’. Arriving in the United States in the late 1940’s, he became a Chazzan and davvened first in New York, and then in 1956, he went to Pittsburgh, where for the next 50 years he was Cantor of the Beth Sholom Congregation. Today at the age of 90, he lives in retirement as the “elder statesman” of the Cantorial profession. Cantor Taube sings:
1. B’Tzeis Yisroel-Recorded in 1973.
2. Sim Shalom-Recorded in 1969.
