nameless, thanks for the info. Interesting tidbit. I was actually referring to the story that they told the Munkatcher rebbe (the Minchas Elazar)about this wonderful cantorial piece , ‘tiher rab yishmoel”, and that every person who hears it is brought to tears. He did not believe it and so they sang it to him. (I daresay it was not Kwartin) and indeed he did cry when he heard it. Incidentally, the ‘minchas elozor’ had no love lost for chazzonim…
