Besides being a splendid performance, I reflect that in addition to the Vienna Philharmonic's historical repression of women musicians, the Jews themselves subjected women to the back benches of their synagogues, where for centuries they have had to listen to Kol Nidre over the heads of the dominant male.

@lfreundlich1 This is the reason, why we founded this orchestra 1999 against all odds! So you can sit in the first row and listen to what ever you want if you have enough money to honour our work as you are forced to do with any other ensemble too! Thanks for your comment !

@mrslimbeck why can't se talk about it......

[mrslimbeck]

@sliux109 Because people cannot tolerate the idea of a woman being oppressed being considered morally "wrong" to others. Always women get pushed aside, and it is ok--we can NEVER comment about how women see the reasoning behind religious motives to push women aside. I bet a lot of Jewish women don't feel they have to sit seperate from the men to "protect" them. I bet it feels downright sexist. But we can't talk about it. It might enlighten others.

@madmaxj22 And see, this is why I no longer desire to convert to Judaism as I once did. Instead of telling men to control their foul tempers and fits of childlike jealousy or testosterone fueled desires, Jewish leaders decided to tell women to cover up; women to sit apart from men; women to do this, to do that--all to avoid a man taking responsibility for his poor actions. Sadly, all religions do this, and that is why I will never take part. Subjecting them to the side = just as bad.

Although (unfortunately) i rarely crave to listen to classical music, it can never be compared to modern music in the way it transfers emotions and the awe it inspires

@lfreundlich1 good evening johnny clueless

[madmaxj22]

@lfreundlich1 We do not subject them to the back of the synagogue, we simply sit separate from them. In some (if not most) orthodox synagogues the women sit on the sides, and the men in the middle. This is not because men are dominant, but because the idea is that the singing voice of a female might make you jealous of her husband. The law is not to oppress women, but rather to make sure men do not get jealous of their friends. Furthermore, not all synagogues have separate sitting.

I am bummed the embedding is disabled on this beautifully-done piece. Wanted to share it on my blog today. :-(

@thomasodelago Why not?

[SonicTheHedgedawg]

@bedford462 yeah. I know what it's played for. Still the melody is a bit chilling. Kinda gives you goosebumps almost.

@lfreundlich1 i don't see why this got so many thumbs downs, all he/she did was reply, to something he/she saw, and even added "splendid performance" in the beginning to make sure it is not offensive
