todays crop unfortunately don’t interest me too much. however i must say, i only heard Yanky Lemmer once, by a private type kumzits thing where he sang a yiddish song from Hershman. I was very impressed with the professionalism and technique.
i heard from a reliable source that Ganchoff expressed his feeling that the Koussevitskys to an extent destroyed chazzanus, in the sense that it became High C or nothing. the hamon am lost appreciation for the finer points of chazzanus.( i can see why ganchoff would feel this way, he kinda played second fiddle to MK). while we can debate the truth of this statement, one thing it definately did was ruin many chazzanim of today, that are busy screaming instead of learning the art. i don’t want to mention names.
just wondering, where does Rosenblatt come into all of this????
