    You can hear a sample of his music. by clicking on the above link.

    Its really unclear though. I guess he wasen't lucky enough to be around the same time as Cantors World. He could have been Helfgot :)

  4. From a Shevuos piyut:
    קרוץ מחומר מה מועילו חומד ומתאוה את שאינו שלו.
    זה שיש לו אינו שלו,
    קנין שאינו שלו למה זה הוא לו,
    יבין וישכיל בדעו ושכלו, ישמח ויעוז במתת גורלו.

    So now we know why it follows Lo Sachmod. :)

  5. sirota had the most powerful voice in chazzanus .they say he was even stronger than caruso .a real dramatic tenor .however he did not have much of a range.

If it's not worth taking credit for, it's probably not worth saying!
