A Musical Shabbat

Part I: Friday Night Service and Table Songs - details

Part II: Saturday Morning Service  - details

"This liturgical Shabbat feast explores works from the 17th through the 20th centuries. Part I, with Cantor Alberto Mizrahi and backed by the pitch-perfect Western Wind hits 20 Friday night service and Shabbat zemirot highlights--including Louis Lewandowski's stately 'L'Cho Dodi' and Salamone Rossi's 'Barechu.' On Part II, Mizrahi shares the morning service with cantors Jacob Ben Zion Mendelson and Faith Steinsnyder in 22 selections ranging from Salomon Sulzer's traditional 'Vayehi Binso'a' to Sol Zim's 'Avinu Shebashamayim'. Even standards such as 'Adon Olam' become extraordinary."   Hadassah Magazine
