@56Yeya Caruso and Yossele ztl lived at same time in NY and knew and appreciated each other. Caruso hugged Rosenblatt after hearing him sing Eli Eli in a concert. Caruso once said that he was lucky that Rosenblatt had gone into chozzonus rather than into opera. Caruso, a not particularly observant Catholic, often attended shul services especially in Eastern Europe. He felt that he could learn a lot from chazzanim. This is felt in Caruso role as the Jew Eleazar in La Juive, sadly his last role!
@@gbarnardoh Could be. I wonder. Yosseleh Rosenblatt is still the greatest cantor since any cantor was recorded. I have a remix on CD called something like "Yosseleh Chai.' All the white-noise interference is eliminated, and orchestration replaces the piano of the original recordings. It may be hard to find, but the effort would be worth it.
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Wonderfully remastered! Yossele Rosenblatt set such an example for all that a cantor can be.

Stunning of course. But the original version with just organ accompaniment is SO much better.
i'm told Yossele Rosenblatt wrote this melody for Shir HaMa'alos. And to think how we rush through it on Shabbos! This is how it was meant to be sung.
I believe that the Odessa Cantor Pinchas Minkowsky is the actual composer, but Rosenblatt popularized the melody, and so it is associated with him.

I'll start to sing it slower
Rosenblatt is for chazanut what Caruso is for opera-lovers! 56Yeya
Terribly remastered, wrong pitch, all awful.
