JOSEF "YOSSELE" ROSENBLATT (May 9, 1882 - June 19, 1933) was a Ukrainian-born chazzan (cantor) and composer. He was regarded as the greatest cantor of his time.
Rosenblatt was born on May 9, 1882 in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine. The scion of a long line of cantors Rosenblatt's devoutly religious upbringing prevented him from receiving formal musical training at any of the great academies of his day. He began his career as a member of the local synagogue choir. Quickly lauded as a "wunderkind", or child prodigy, Rosenblatt's solo career was launched.
He accepted his first full-time position in Munkacs, Hungary at the age of eighteen. Shortly afterword he relocated to Bratislava. He later occupied a position in Hamburg, Germany. In 1912 he moved to Harlem to take a position at the Ohab Tsedek orthodox congregation.
Rosenblatt's fame extended beyond the Jewish world earning him large concert fees, a singing role in the 1927 film The Jazz Singer, and the sobriquet "The Jewish Caruso".
Style -- He was known for his extraordinary technique (which he used primarily in cantillation), for the sweetness of his timbre, and for his unique ability to transition from normal voice to falsetto with hardly any noticeable break at all.
Style -- His technique in cantillation was unique. Notes were hit remarkably accurately at high speeds. Appoggiaturas, similarly, were struck near perfectly, both rhythmically and on pitch.
Style -- His fame spread so far that Toscanini appealed to him to sing the leading role in Fromental Halévy's La Juive, but Rosenblatt replied that he would only use his vocal gift for the glory of God, in service to his religion. Notably, he turned down a "Golden Hello" from the Chicago opera house because it violated his religious principles.
Style -- Rosenblatt corresponded with many of the great tenors of his day. It is told that upon hearing Rosenblatt sing "Elli Elli" Enrico Caruso was so moved that he ascended the stage and kissed him.
Legacy -- Rosenblatt perhaps exerted the greatest influence on cantorial music's "Golden Age". He led the transition from the more freestyling cadenza-laden approach prevalent before his era, to a more structured, metered style.
Legacy -- Rosenblatt pioneered the use of several cantorial techniques which have subsequently been adopted by cantors around the world. These include his trademark krekhts, or sob in which he would deliberately allow his voice to crack to convey the emotion of what he was singing. He also developed a realistic soprano falsetto as a method of easing the strain on his overworked voice. A prolific composer, more than one hundred and eighty pieces of his have been preserved.
Legacy -- Rosenblatt's great-grandsons include Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Rosenblatt of the Riverdale Jewish Center and Rabbi Andrew Rosenblatt of Congregation Schara Tzedeck in Vancouver.
Legacy -- Since the 78 RPM era, Rozenblatt's recordings have been re-issued many times in LP and CD format. In recent years a set of 3 CDs Od Yosef Chai containing restored versions of 78s of Rosenblatt's performances has been issued by Mostly Music, a Brooklyn record store.
Anyone know or can arrange a chazzanos contest? If not lets arrange one. (Online submission) prize. Would suggest nominal submission fee ($10) and winner takes all. Etc.
haha picardy third! I wasn't expecting that! / who arranged this? / this performance is lots of fun!! probably would have been even better without the scores in hand. and fascinating because it's so old, and it's rare to see jewish choral singing like this. reminds me of german hunting choruses in some passages.
This video is absolutely great. We've all heard scratchy 78 versions of his music, but the clarity for a video so old is astounding. Rosenblatt's voice can really be appreciated.
I read his biography a few years ago and remember that for a period of time he resided in Manhattan, NY. He davened in a shul in Harlem. Not only was he a great chazan, but he was admired by Caruso, the great opera singer, who it was said, attended services to hear Yosselle's great voice. I no longer have the book, having given it away to a friend, whose father sang in Rosenblatt's choir.
Absolutely beautiful. This is the first video I've ever seen of Chazzan Rosenblatt and I can appreciate him much better than listening to my records and tapes which still have the original scratching sounds. He was the best and although there are a few excellent chazzonim around, they have a long way to go. My favorite chazzan today is Stark, who did the Kayl Moley Rachamim at the Lincoln Center concert a few years ago and brought the house down.
He demonstrates exquisitely the skill of falsetto and a "tear" in his voice. It touches the soul we often forget we have. All 78 rpm recordings haven't been lost!
Can you put "Oifen Pripechuk," "A Brieveleh Tsu Momme," and "Oy Nissim" on Youtube?
A powerful aspect of this video occurs at 4:50 when the excellent chorus begins a sustained, deep F#, thus creating a dramatic backdrop for the Rebbe's falsetto.
Another treat: Click Sophie Tucker's, "My Yiddisheh Momme."
What a wonderful tear in Cantor Rosenblatt's voice. It touches the soul we often forget we have.
The 78 rpm recordings haven't been lost! Do you have "Oy Nissim" and "Oif en Pripechuk"? I'm uncertain if Reb Rosenblatt recorded the yidisheh songs. I just remember that a powerful tenor sang so splendidly.
Beautiful voice ... and what a dynamic and dramatic range he had! The parts where he went into pianissimo falsetto, then back to full voice, gave me goosebumps.
he was first a pious jew and further a great musician, thats why his personal "aura" is so beautiful. he sang among the best of his age and never exaggerates. cantorfahlenkamp
What an inspiration! At least in my shul there is still some memories of this man and some of his pieces are actually sung during the davening and in some of our concerts.I hope that our shuls would enhance the tefillos againn with chazzonim like this!!
