I first heard Yosele Rosenblat's voice when I was about five years old in the 1950s, and I've been in love with his performance ever since. Since I got sick and couldn't go to synagogue, we listen to Kol Nidre at home and it's always performed by Yosele Rosenblat.
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. Molto Bello! Thank you!
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
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.
To truly appreciate the incredible talent of Yossele Rosenblatt in both his compositions and singing, one must understand the meaning of the words. These were not just beautiful musical compositions sung at the highest possible level of tenor singing, but music that perfectly fit the overall mood of the prayer and the precise meaning of its words, and whose singing conveyed their meaning in a truly visceral manner. No other cantor has ever come close to Yossele both in the sheer beauty and multi-level qualities of his voice, and in the way he conveyed the meaning of each composition so uniquely and perfectly. This video also shows how remarkably he produced and used his voice without the slightest sense of strain, shifting from tenor to baritone to falsetto without even the slightest need for a gradual change, and without any external indication that he was shifting his voice to an entirely new range. The man was simply blessed with an overflow of heavenly gifts. What a shame God took him from us at such an early age (helped in large part by his being short and having a pot belly), but at least he merited to die in his first and only visit to the Holy Land. As an indication of how popular and beloved his music was at the time, a remarkable crowd of 20,000 people (in 1933 Palestine) attended his funeral, despite his sudden death in a land he was just visiting.
Hard to believe the quality of his work and time invested in those years when the Talkies and voice was so crude.... Nobody will ever be as good!!!!! So sad that he died at such a young age. He made it to see the Holy Land and died. Could someone post other material from this great man!!!! Reb Noach
Looks like it comes from a VHS tape. Maybe this one: www.amazon.com/Great-Cantors-Cinema-Yossele-Rosenblatt/dp/B004KMZZJU . Or maybe this: www.worldcat.org/title/legendary-voices-cantors-of-yesteryear/oclc/41480179 . If you search "yossele rosenblatt vhs" there seem to be a few. Similarly, if you search "yosse rosenblatt dvd" there are a few, such as: www.jewishfilm.org/Catalogue/films/greatcantors.htm

There is a snippet of a his voice and a resemblance of his deep heart crying that he had and no one in the past no one in the future will ever ....

Rosenblatt is truly the master. All students of singing should listen to Rosenblatt and follow his example.
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 magnificent and so was his congregation -- sanctuary and people.

What a beautiful voice! A rare talent and clip of video. Thank you! SEND MORE!!!
Thank you! Yossele Rosenblat is such a wonderful cantor, singer & composer. Dorothea
very spiritual, uplifting. Men of G-D are always a blessing to me. The music reveals my soul, I appreciate all G-D has done for me
This is wonderful to both see and hear. Rosenblatt imho is the "yardstick" by which all other hazzans are measured - he has no equal !!!
Hard to believe the quality of his work and time invested in those years when the Talkies and voice was so crude....
Nobody will ever be as good!!!!!
So sad that he died at such a young age.
He made it to see the Holy Land and died.

Magnificent!!!!
Thank you for posting this video rarety. I thought the only Rosenblatt film was the silent from his Israel journey.
@ToweringInfernoOrch I don't know when it was made. But, FWIW, I do recall that there's a reference to Cantor Rosenblatt in "The Jazz Singer".
Liked some of the vintage footage of Kotel!
Amazing in it's pure beauty! Bravo!
❤❤❤
I admire your amazing ability to write and express yourself in the Serb language.

Wonderful recording. Does anyone know where it's from or if there's any more of this footage online?
I guess you spotted that the same film is here: ruclips.net/video/D9s5MHjg3Yo/видео.html

The Babe Ruth of Chazonim!
Unequivocally yossele Rosenblatt
top of the cantorial mountains
4:50 hauntingly beautiful
great
What is the source of this footage? Does it exist in higher quality?
Neked is tetszik ?
Wil there ever be a hazzan to approach Yossele Rosenblatt?
I love Moshe Koussevitzky
when was this made? was it near the time of, "The Jazz Singer"?
ToweringInfernoOrch can’t be much later because Rosenblatt died in 1933 and The Jazz Singer was released in 1927
