But in serious: It seems he is singing it to someone over the phone, hence, the lazy look. I recommend checking out on YouTube. Very pleasant, full voice.
Watching the State of the Union the other night, I enjoyed the sense of importance lent by protocol of it all: "Mr. Speaker, I give you: The President of the United States."
Al Achas Kama v'kama, G-d.
Here Yossele seems to announce G-d's credentials and imminent participation. Following which the Chazzan says "Shema Yisroel Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad!"
Good Shabbos,
Thank you, Jeff George, for your quick and excellent guidance to Media.io, upon which this track was converted from wma. Thank you to all SSY commenters: your comments are always read and mostly appreciated and almost never responded to but sometimes discussed between the authors of this blog.
MONDAY UPDATE: In the comments, מטהר correctly noted that this Ant Hu was paired with new musical and choral arrangements and released by Aderet music as the relatively recent Od Yosef Chai (2). This is not a bad thing, in my opinion, but it is in מטהר's. You decide.
Do I have a sufficient number of T'ka B'shofar Gedolim to post one every day of Elul? You tell me. Do I? Of course I do. Why would I even answer? Why would you ask? Do you want to know? Are you asking? So ask! What, do I have enough, you want to know? Good question. Let's just say, yes, I probably do.
The challenge is in only posting enjoyable ones.
Hashem is so kind, he'll forgive you, with t'shuvah that comes from the heart. (Ha, maybe tomorrow that will post!)
BH I think Peretz posted the second Yossele back in the day. There are many more recordings of this out there, (almost as many as Ad Heina) please post if you have any. Avi, can we get a poll?
B"H Erev Yimei Haslichos Here is a compilation of Retzei Asirosom by various Chazonim, Begining with two by Yossele, one by Moshe Stern (sung at the notorious concert in '03) and then one by Benjamin Muller recorded live in shul, (notice the solo begins with his own intro)
If any of you have more recordings of this please post.
