The history of Chazzanuth – the reading of Jewish liturgical texts by the Cantor or Chazzan – in its professional form goes back more than 170 years, but only in the beginning of 20^th century appeared the great masters of this genre.

The liturgical chants which can be heard on this CD have been recorded in 1973 in Israel after his emigration from Soviet Union when Misha Alexandrovich had been appointed Chief Cantor of the Great Synagogue of Ramat Gan
