    He wasn’t even necessarily the greatest in his lifetime. Kvartin certainly gave him a run for his money.

    “Greatest” and “chazzan” are oxymorons. Arent they?

    Rosenblatt was a great chazzan, and was also a good frum Jew. Kvartin was also a great chazzan, but was not really frum.

    I once heard that someone asked, “Who is better, Rosenblatt or Kvartin?” The response was, “On Rosh Hashanah, Rosenblatt is better. On Yom Kippur, Kvartin is better, because he drank some water to loosen his throat while Rosenblatt didn’t.”

    So the question was asked, “If Kvartin sounds better on Yom Kippur, why does Rosenblatt get paid more?” The response was, “Because he davens 2 shemoneh esreis, one quiet, and one loud. Kvartin only davens one, so he gets paid less.”

    DaMoshe glad u see my point, that Chazzan Rosenblatt was the greatest Chazzan that ever lived, cause he was both highly talented and also a Frum yid

    No one compares to Yossele. The only possible competition would be Koussevitzky, but Yossele’s voice wins by about a thousand times.

    What a stupid argument about who is greater. Chazonim are in the eye of the beholder, kind of like beauty.

    Btw, I proclaim that Shnitzel is the best type of chicken. I dont care if anyone prefers grilled chicken, fried is definitely better.
