How many of these in the movie were alive a few years later... How completely poignant... Thank you.

The most beautiful rendering of Kol Nidre I have heard. Oysher was truly a giant. It strill brings tears to me eyes every time I hear it.

So wonderful! Knowing many of the others, mostly from recordings, this is the one from the heart, the one that rings most true to the Kol Nidres of my childhood in the first half of the last century. Forget the tragic movie ending; it is the singing that is exquisite and heart rending
