Sephardic Jerusalem tradition --earliest field recording?

[Joel Bresler <joel.br...>]

Chevra,

In Abraham Z. Idelsohn recorded a cylinder of what is believed to be 
Sephardi Torah cantillation. The selection was later re-released on The 
Demonstration Collection of E.M. von Hornbostel and the Berlin Archiv (in 
cylinder form, I believe) .Later last century a Folkways album containing a 
sampling of the Demonstration Collection was released. (Folkways FE 4175)

If anyone on the list is familiar with the Jerusalem Sephardic torah 
cantillation tradition and is willing to take a stab at confirming the 
attribution (and perhaps determining the parsha, etc.) kindly email me off 
list and I will get you a copy of the song for review.

Very best,

Joel
