Living Stereo!Nov 14, 2008 Before Stereo got "cute" with too much separation, albums like this became instant treasures - and when the artistry was beyond belief, it was something for the ages.
The 1960 recording is beautifully cast, with the Opera great Jamn Peerce in command. What a singer - completely authoritative as Pagliacci...and as "The Cantor". Here pressed as "The Cantor for a Sabbath".
I grew up with "The Cantor" by Al Jolson and later discovered it live on the radio with Irving Caesar. I assume that Peerce has captured the more impressive, traditional "Cantor", but I'll keep my memories. (On vinyl and an aging cassette tape).
Probably first heard "Kol Nidrei" (cut 7) also by Jolson; the arrangement is similiar to that version possibly better known.
Excellent liner notes give us the original 1961 text plus "The HIstory of Living Stereo".

Una enorme demostración de fuerza interpretativaSep 15, 2000 Descubierto por Arturo Toscanini, como tantos otros notables (recordar al menos al gran tenor español Miguel Bienvenido Fleta), el gran tenor neoyorkino de origen judío Jan Jacob Peerce será uno de los artistas titulares del Metropolitan Opera House de Nueva York durante los años treinta, cuarenta y cincuenta. A pesar de ser una grabación de los años cincuenta, en ella descubrimos a un Peerce en plena forma, con una capacidad vocal extraordinaria, un fraseo y una dicción imposibles de comparar, no creo exagerar con esto, con otro cantante del momento.
Pero Peerce no era solamente el gran tenor de los escenarios norteamericanos y europeos. Era, probablemente junto con Richard Tucker, uno de los exponentes de un judaísmo agraviado por los acontecimientos recientes de entonces al que se le había dado el don y la gracia para expresar, cantando, el orgullo de su procedencia hebrea. Una auténtica demostración de fuerza interpretativa que es calidad vocal, por supuesto, pero que es también un maravilloso despliegue del caleidoscopio cultural y folklórico del que, afortunadamente para nosotros, se enorgullecía. Es decir, presentes todos los elementos para hacer de éste un registro entrañable.
