Cantor Daniel Mendelson sings Avinu Malkeinu - Rosh Hashanah 2021

Details

Description

Burned into the musical memory of Jews of every stripe, across the globe, Cantor Mendelson offers this quintessential congregational folk melody as a bridge into the classic and haunting version by Max Janowski. Similar to the Kol Nidrei, the music of Avinu Malkeinu transcends the text itself. Kol Nidre, a "Misinai" tune, so old and beloved the music is said to come from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments, comes down to us from the middle ages. Where as Avinu Malkeinu was written around 1950, it has become a Misinai tune of the 20th Century! We shall ever be grateful to Max Janowsky for this Jewel...
