<< CANTORS: A FAITH IN SONG
In Jewish spiritual life, the cantor sings the prayers and liturgy of the 
synagogue. He is a musical guide, healer, celebrant, and often, after 
hours, an entertainer.

This concert, taped in September 2003 at the Portuguese Synagogue in 
Amsterdam, Netherlands, features three of the world's most acclaimed Jewish 
cantors: Naftali Hershtik, chief cantor of the Great Synagogue, Jerusalem 
(shown); Benzion Miller, chief cantor at the Youth Israel Beth-El Synagogue 
of Borough Park, in Brooklyn, N.Y.; and Alberto Mizrahi, cantor of the 
Anshe Emet Synagogue of Chicago.

Backed by a 40-piece orchestra and 16-voice choir, the cantors sing Jewish 
cantorial and secular music, from traditional chants to 19th-century 
compositions and contemporary ballads. >>
