there isnt enough Jewish liturgical music around - my shelf of Masses far exceeds my shelf of davening - but this CD brought back names my father used to mention, which was a benefit in itself. the audio quality is poor, as to be expected, but the music is well worth hearing - as music, for the individual voices, and for the memories.

Cantorial music was once the "art music" of everyday Jews in Eastern Europe. Today the style has become regarded as somewhat archaic (although there are still a few great chazanim around). This anthology is a good sampler of the preeminent cantors of the early 20s century, when the music was still in its heyday. Other anthologies and individual collections are available in Jewish music stores or Judaica stores.

For those interested in Sefardic chazanut, contemporary Rabbi Chaim Louk is highly recommended, especially his "Musika Andalousit" series. Hatzlachah rabbah!
