Sorry Richard,

There are no DDD recordings by Rosenblatt. We have about 7 Cd of his, and all
were taken from old 78s.  Is the quality "good"? that all depends on whether
one is looking for classic Rosenblatt, or just wants any old cd to fill their
cd rack.  There is one Rosenblatt cassette in the store that contains Kol
Nidre, the sound is very poor, and everyone knows it, but it's Rosenblatt, and
still the best selling cantorial cassette in the shop.

There are however, some Rosenblatt Cds that have pretty good sound which
should be acceptable to anyone who is interested in recordings of the 1920s
and 30s.

I happen to like Cantor Sirota and some of his recordings sound like they were
recorded dwith wooden needles, but somehow, if you listen closely, the voice
still comes through and these are well worth owning if you want to hear the
Great Cantors.
