Re: cantorial music by/for women

Robert,

I don't have exactly what you have in mind, but what about Shaindele (aka
Jean Gornisht) of Philadelphia, extremely popular woman cantor of 40 or 50
years ago.  I guarantee you've never heard a voice like it before.  Such
power, such emotional delivery!  The one recording I have verges on the
sentimental at times, but she has no equal IMHO!
