Guest Post on Yossele Rosenblatt
Guest post from Milken Music Archives:
Yossele Rosenblatt
It's impossible to discuss the Golden Age of cantorial music without mentioning Yossele Rosenblatt, the great chazzan of the early 20th century. Rosenblatt not only inspired audiences throughout the world during his career as one of the foremost tenors of his day but his style, compositions and dominance of the era's Jewish liturgy continue to influence performers and interpretations of Jewish music until today. Recently Yossele Rosenblatt 's contribution to the world of Jewish music was featured in the Milken Music Archives, an organization created by Jewish philanthropist Lowell Milken which documents the American Jewish experience through the development of American Jewish music.
Yossele Rosenblatt arrived in America in 1912, having already built up a reputation for his cantorial style in the Ukraine, Hungary, Germany and other centers of Eastern European Jewry. His immigration coincided with period in which millions of European Jews were fleeing persecution in their countries of origin and making new homes in the United States. Rosenblatt, strictly Orthodox, brought with him the familiar Ashkanazi liturgy and style of worship that the new Jewish immigrants remembered from their home countries. That, together with Rosenblatt's incredible voice, made him a sought-after performer for both synagogue services and hazzanut performances.
Rosenblatt was a true performer who would allow his voice to break in the middle of an arrangement to convey the emotion of the experience. His techniques included cantillation in which he hit incredibly high notes at remarkably high speeds. His admirers were in awe of his structured, metered style and that style continues to greatly influenced the cantorial world to this day.
Rosenblatt received offers to perform in the world's best opera houses but he refused because it would compromise his commitment to his Jewish principles. Rosenblatt said, on more than one occasion, that his voice was a gift from God and he would use it only in His service.

Edon Pinchot: YU Concert Video!
EDON Pinchot sings Miracle by Matisyahu at the 2012 Yeshiva University Chanukah concert . Edon was a semi-finalist on this season of America's Got Talent and though the video quality isn't great, the new arrangement of the song in what's become Edon's signature style is. (The sideways view is fixed after several seconds).
I think the sound quality overall is quite good and who knew Edon is the newest member of the Neshoma
orchestra? :)

New MBD Album- Kisufim: Next Week!
For all the MBD fans there is a reason to celebrate.....next week!
Succos Concert: MBC, Yumi Lowy & Ari B!
Here is the advertisement for the latest big Succos Concert. I found it interesting that they are now promoting Ari Boiangiu. I guess names like Steve Bill or Yochi Briskman have gone stale and the new faces of great Jewish musicians that are popular are the ones you see on the latest youtube videos? Even more interesting is the dig to YBC that MBC only uses live performances and not pre-recorded vocals. It's an interesting way to set yourself apart from the pack. Lastly is the venue of the concert. Are there budget constraints or are all the major concert halls taken? The Palace is certainly not the best place for a concert. It's a wedding hall or party room. The acoustics will make things a bit tricky for the sound people as there is a decent amount of echo. Perhaps having a large crowd will absorb some of it but it will make listening from a far a bit interesting.
For the first time ever!

Jewish Music Video: Ki Anu Amkekha
New single from PITOM with vocals by Yoshie Fruchter and the band (a departure from their previously all instrumental music). Text comes from high holiday liturgy and the arrangement is based on a hassidic version of the prayer.
The video intersperses live footage of the band with clips from early stop-motion animation genius Ladislaw Starewicz's films. The prayer "Ki Anu Amekha" deals with the human struggle with mortality and subservience to a greater power. Starewicz's creations, in parallel, seem to come alive with human emotion on film but cease to move without the magic of the camera.
Recorded and mixed by Jason LaFarge at Seizure's Palace
