A recording of the two oldest unrhythmical elements of ancient Jewish music: Biblical cantillation modes and their offspring, the Prayer Modes. The recording seeks to illustrate the sounds of this ancient yet living tradition within Judaism, and to illumine the sacred bridge that connects the music of the ancient Hebrews with Christian music forms. A cross section of Jewish chant, recorded at Jewish Theological Seminary of America.

By: B. Williams

This is an unusual recording: one that aims to illuminate and educate listeners about ancient tradition, and which is also highly accessible, enjoyable and beautiful. Conducted by Matthew lazar, a faculty member at Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and featuring profession Jewish tenor Alberto Mizrahi, the quality is superb, the recording is excellent and the music is captivating. A recording that grows on you, while it exposes you to a living tradition!
