Ctorial Concert with the cantor Zevulun Kwartin – Jerusalem 1935
An announcement about a concert in honor of the 30th anniversary of 'Shirat Yisrael' choir at the Edison Hall on Wednesday 6.3.1935. The concert was given by Zevulun Kwartin and accompanied by a large choir, an oriental singer, a young cantor, a choir of children and a piano. The announcement includes the picture of the cantor.
The noted Cantor Zevulun Kwartin (1874-1952) was the greatest Jewish cantor of the 20th century (alongside Yossele Rosenblatt and Mordechai Hershman). At a young age, he became famous in Europe and appeared in synagogues and concert halls throughout the continent. In 1920, he conducted a concert tour in the US at the end of which he decided to settle in Brooklyn and was appointed as cantor of Temple Emanuel at the unheard salary (in those days) of $12,000 a year.
One of his most famous pieces was the piyyut "Tiher Rabbi Yishmael Atzmo…", which is performed still today by many cantors. Reputedly, it has been said (in the name of the Belzer Rebbe or the Brisker Rav) that listening to this piece of chazanut inspires one to repent.
Rare!
