That's funny.  He doesn't LOOK LIKE a hazzan.

[stanleycohen]

What does a chazan look like then, Sir?

[iralaser]

@stanleycohen Surely you jest! Look at Motzen; look at Miller; look at Yosele Rosenblatt. This guy looks like a Protestant.

This was a nice rendition of a Yom Tov cantorial medley. What makes any cantor's performance great is the way a cantor sings solfege, with accurate timing, using melismatic passages, allowing for the musical ensemble accompanying the vocalist, to come through. It takes intensive voice training to hold notes for long periods of time. I personally find this hard, even if I've been told that I have a wonderful singing voice, so I appreciate the work that it takes to become a maestro.

Simon you are world class!

A voice from heaven.

When are you coming to NY?

We want you in our Shul!!

Your voice rings out with such clarity and warmth.

I am enjoying all your youtubes but I want the real thing

[B4rbwire1]

Thats my cousin the chazan - what a voice - gives me goosebumps! Never mind the lump in my throat - love Barbara

[notzappa]

I could not think of a better way to prepare my soul for the holy-days.

A groysen yasher koyach to you Simon on your beautiful singing - about time you came to Toronto, eh???

[profoundmysteries]

Yashar Koach! Thank you for your contribution to the world of Hazzanut. Please send any Arias you sing as well. Do you enjoy Italian opera as well? Best regards! - Hazzan Presler

[operanorma]

Simon Cohen does what most chazzanim only dream of doing: elegant vocalisation from Hebrew texts with an even range up to the highest register without the slightest straining or thinning. His breath control and portamento are also testament to his training in the art - like Helfgot, Farkas and a small group of others. The full Shabbat service needs staying power and makes another difference between opera and chazzanut (with the exception of a few Wagnerian roles). Mazel tov! And good health!

Chazan Simon - you blew me away in the first line!

Your voice touches my soul, please continue to upload Tefilot.

You make those top notes look so easy...

You remind me of the great Chazanim of the 30's

[ottawamysteryman]

Beautiful. Soul-stirring!! Thank you, Cantor Cohen. What a wonderful rendition.

[motorfriend]

[TheJewishPianist]

What an amazing Chazan! His voice is world class!

I feel truely inspired by his spirituality, this will make a real difference to my Yom Kippur, if only our Chazen could sing like this! Manchester UK

Can anyone advise when his next performance is?

[btonskin]

A true maestro , an amazing Chazan .. that touches all of us . I feel that with age the voice will  improve even to higher levels .

I wish him and his family abundent Happiness for this gift of his voice .

[chacham1]

This is THE greatest voice in the world. Heavenly singing, wonderfully developed and sung with deep emotion.

[stanleycohen]

This voice gets better every time I hear it.

May it continue to do so to the benefit of us all and the glorification of the Ribono shel Olom.

[amahcen]

This is definitely my favourite Chazan, I go to all his concerts, his voice is both velvet and touches my heart and enspires my soul with those amazing top notes!! You make it look so easy!

May all your prayers be answered.
