[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

I've written to the JMI to inquire about the Sulzer recording they advised 
us about plus what they refer to as "the Lewandowski recording," but if the 
liner notes to Winston's CD--is that the one they mean?--attribute the Kol 
Nidre melody (i.e., itself, not just an arrangement) to Lewandowski, that's 
pretty ignorant!--as it preceded him by centuries.  Who wrote these notes?
