Nikola David; Bettina Strubel; Offenbacher Vokalensemble Prophet; Christoph Siebert - Emanuel Kirschner: Synagogen-Gesange ('Synagogue Chants')

All the songs selected by Cantor Nikola David for this recording have been transliterated by the Cantor from the original Ashkenazi pronunciation to follow Sephardic pronunciation. This decision paralleis that made by Eliezer Ben-Jehuda when creating the basis for the modern Hebrew language. Cantor Nikola David has chosen from the rich Kirschner repertoire not only pieces which are sung each week on Shabbat, but also those sung on Yamim Noraim, the High Holy Days, and the Hagim, other holidays.
