  • כך כך חסר לנו האיש הטוב הזה. נעים זמירות

  • He died on June 19, 1933 in Jerusalem.

    Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

  • 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.

    Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

  • 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.

    Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

  • 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.

    Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.
