Cantor Moshe Koussevitzky Sings "Aneinu"

[MarkKomrad]

Unbelievably gorgeous!

[mattmarcucci1]

I think this is the finest example of cantorial singing I've ever heard. I've never heard anything quite like the gesture at 6:08 or so.

[gitaiblatt]

Doesn't compete with the Mordechai Hershman version, also on youtube.

I used to live across the street from Temple Emanuel in Boro Park.My bedroom window faced the syagogue. I would hear him sing every saturday morning. Koussevitsky, that is.

[oberkantor1]

@scag15 sorry but David Kussevitsky Davened in Emanuel not MOSHE

[scag15]

@oberkantor1 Yes, i was told that many years later, but growing up in the 1950's i was told it was Moshe. Is it possible He was there in the '50s? If not, then David was also a great khazn.

[oberkantor1]

@scag15 david was great too. he was there from 1948 untill death, so ......

[KingOystar]

beautiful simply beautiful!

[aSparkle2003]

Thank you so much for sharing this precious gem!

[hashatz]

Koussevitsky's aristocratic style comes through in every one of his recordings especially in his mature years. It never interfered with the warmth and emotional involvement that characterized his davening. One can listen forever to this superb chazzen without tiring. His top tones were an "integral" part of his davening - never superfluous or intended to "show off". The experience was magical; unforgettable.

[cantorfahlenkamp]

i guess to remembert his record was of his last ones. he was allready "growing into earth" ( "ich wachs in die erd arain") as he said.

[Benbarzillay]

where can I find the lyrics?

My siddur says:

'anenu (adoshem) 'anenu.

be-yom tzom ta'anithenu.

ki vtzara ghdola anachnu.

al-tefen al-rish'enu.

we-al-taster panekha mimmennu. ....

[oberkantor1]

at the end of slichos !!!

[maminovm]

I heard him live in Beith El. one of the top piece ever sang/prayed- Every Yom kipur i listen to his record/Hamechaye

[mnbschm]

on yom kippur you not allowed to listen to music if you jewish

[jbcohen44]

grahet voes

[favor834]

At the begining you have to spell anainu with a מלאופם like this: עננו, not like you spelled it ענני.

[Chazzan805]

Jews from certain areas of Europe and chassidim pronounce it "aneini." Just like "Borich atoh Hashem Elokaini."

[favor834]

My comment wasn't about "pronouncing", it was about "spelling", and spells it ענני , There is no two ways about it.

[aspsingr]

this is some of the greatest singing i've ever heard!

[gabrielkendal]

Extraordinario!!!

[hashatz]

It is not possible to sing like this if your voice is tired

[musikgeni]

He was not well when this recording was made. Compare with his earlier recordings.

[vintagepa]

After hearing this rendition, it is no wonder that he is one of the all time great cantors.

[musikgeni]

one of his best interpretations. who cares if his voice is tired. nobody can sing like this anymore.
