I have no idea what kind of concert this is since I don;t know Hebrew but it is so beautiful tears are streaming down my face. One of the cantors looks like my late father but that can't be possible,can it?He was a cantor too, more in the Shephard style,but the voice...

[@lsmart]

All of the music written for the liturgical songs and prayers sung or played at this concert (on 3 videos) is connected to the Modzitz (Polish town) Chassidic movement, which is renowned for the centrality of great liturgical music to its sacred services. I believe that nearly every piece was either composed by one of the five Grand Rabbis of this Chassidic dynasty, each of whom was (or is) a prolific composer, or by Rabbi Bentzion Shenker, a follower of this Chassidic group who not only became its musical secretary (recording in musical notes many hundreds of songs and prayers that had been passed down by memory over the years, but also became one of the most prolific and renowned composers of Chassidic-flavored music in the world, with a number of his compositions known and sung at one time or another by nearly every Orthodox Jew. He just recently passed away in Brooklyn, NY, having recorded a new record of his songs just a week before his passing at age 91. The music is indeed not merely of high musical quality, but also extremely moving and often heavenly spiritual.

P.S. There are also several musical medleys sung in this concert that combine many short melodies from a host of Modzitz compositions.

[@leahgoodman1271]

Give the young apprentice cantor a chance. We all had to start somewhere! His voice is good now but I think he will have a wonderful voice someday. He already has the ear. My little brother would have been a cantor like my father,grandfather and great-grandfather,etc.

[@leahgoodman1271]

"I don't know where my family came from only that they are Jews from Germany.Romania & Ukraine and they played music and davened. I will look for them the rest of my life, I guess.

[@kenh6002]

It's Chai Hashem from zemiros Shabbos day. I believe (this is without looking in a bencher!) that it's in the kedusha rabah right after Aseder L'Sudasa

Please fix audio/video synchronization.

[@lindaabraham8715]

Who is the lead singer?

[@lsmart]

Whom do you mean? Numerous world-renowned cantors participated in this concert (spread out over 3 videos). If you mean the reddish-bearded cantor with the ravishingly rich and beautiful voice singing at the beginning of the video, it is Chaim Adler, widely considered one of the world's two top cantors over the past 2 decades. Thank G-d, he is still going strong (though obviously slightly diminished) at age 75, and was about 69 at the time of this concert.

I take Eli Jaffe over Sobol any day. Much more sensitive to the nature of this kind of cantorial music. I just hate those Sobol overblown orchestrations turning shul into Berlioz - yuk!

[@lsmart]

Agreed. The music is often unrecognizable.

[@lsmart]

BTW, the only place that I noticed an unrecognizable segment in a niggun played by the orchestra is in the 3rd stanza of the niggun that begins at 52:43. If you are familiar with it, each of the three repeats of the triplicate that begins at about 53:20 ends on an upbeat rather than on a downbeat, as I always knew the tune. Do you know if this is an alternate version, or is this simply a change introduced by Eli Yaffe? In any case, I think it sounds out of place and terrible.

They botched the first song, B'Tzais Yisrael (Psalm 114).
