Re: cantorial music by/for women

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

I actually just got an OP 10-inch of Batsheva, who I think was a 
contemporary of hers.  I've heard _of_ her but never (I think) actually 
heard her.  The recording I have _is_ something of a gevalt; I'm planning to 
include it (though it's admittedly more of a novelty in re) in a new program 
I'll be debuting this fall on MIRIAM'S DAUGHTERS: WOMEN IN AMERICAN-JEWISH 
MUSIC.  Thx again, my dear--or however you say that (tottele--maybe not 
quite applicable?) in you know what--rlc
