The poetry of Jewish prayer reached its highest level of artistic expression during the first half of the twentieth century, when brilliant Jewish vocalists, composers, and improvisers channeled their gifts into creating the vibrant artform known as khazones (cantorial music). In this lecture we will explore classic recordings of the cantorial genre and discuss what made this period of Jewish expression so unique. _____________________________________________________________
