dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last few days =)
@@author7027 Listen to czcams.com/video/y3a0ogVanzE/video.html, esp. from 2:30 onward. You'll not only hear Rosenblatt's incomparable falsetto, but also his insane ability to do the most difficult coloratura singing in falsetto, as well as the ability to sing continuously from ordinary voice into falsetto and back into ordinary voice, as no one else has ever done.
@@author7027 As I never learned music professionally, I cannot argue about the official definition. However, I have listened several hours a day to classical (and cantorial/opera) music for more than 40 years. Generally, head voice is defined as a mixture of chest and head voice, whereas falsetto is produced solely from head sound. I have always believed that Rosenblatt's falsetto is more purely a head sound than the head voices of most other singers. On the videos he produced during his tour of Israel just prior to his premature death (due to a fatal heart attack after bathing in the Dead Sea), you can see him singing falsetto, and it looks like he produces it entirely in the head, with no chest muscles exercised. It is also a totally different, rather than softened, sound. In either case, no one had such free reign in falsetto and the ability to switch registers repeatedly and so naturally. It is also a more beautiful sound IMHO.
Cantor Rosenblatt is a blood relative so I’m thrilled to see and hear him. A little known fact is that he was in the Jazz Singer because he helped to raise money for it’s production. Family history has it that he offered my grandfather, Henry Rosenblatt, an opportunity to invest. Henry declined. Big mistake grandpa.
The Jazz Singer put Warner Bros on the map; George Jessel turned it down because he demanded more money as he was asked to sing in the movie. The part went to Jolson and the rest is history. The movie should be treated as a piece of history, obviously dated today but important nevertheless at the first commercially successful talking movie
@@bobbyfrancis8957 yep, it was Jolie who really put the talkies on the map; if Jessel had of done it, I’m positive it wouldn’t have been as successful.
@@YUDI_Acoustic I noticed that there are good singers in a synagogue in films and so on. who has a natural voice , he doesnt need training at school but just need help to go on with the repertoire
It is available on DVD... Worth every penny with additional DVD of early vaudeville entertainment, including Burns and Allen... As an historical moment, it is worth watching. No one who has had a remake, even comes close to Jolson...or that Warner Bros. Film.
After everyone saying how bad it was as a movie, I was pleasantly surprised! It probably helps if you know who these people are, and if you cry every time you hear col nidre 😂
The acting and the singing are beautiful. I wish they showed these old movies

@Johnathan Cairo yup, have been watching on Instaflixxer for since november myself :)
I like Pavorotti for his crystal clarity and Rosenblatt for his 'cry' and devastating falsetto. Both equally rare talents.
where is the falsetto,please?

@@lsmart thank you. i can hear it as piano,not exactly falsetto. he still keeps the voice, only very softly.
@@lsmart pianissimo.

The original Jazz Singer with Jolson, still the best and no other remake comes close
There is nothing better than a good cantor. Sometimes the cantor is better than the rabbi.
Amazing
So deep so profound thank you for this song
Jack's remembering where he came from!

Mark Doherty - It was Jolson's presence in that movie
that SLAMMED the door on the silents!

I read the Cantor did concerts.
👌♥️👌
What's the name of that song he's singing?
I think it's called "Yahrzeit" (In Memorium).
thats a very good vocal school. from where it comes?
Rosenblatt famously never attended vocal school or had formal training. He started his career in a synagogue choir.
@@YUDI_Acoustic I noticed that there are good singers in a synagogue in films and so on. who has a natural voice , he doesnt need training at school but just need help to go on with the repertoire
sung in yiddish
Got a bit of a wobble by this time.
Aw Jewish guilt from parents a fundamental part of our religion 😂
he was born Asa Yoelson........ yikes
(movie is available on video I think, its the corniest of the corniest of corny movies ever made......)

This is a 1920's movie, for 1920's audiences; try to imagine
yourself living in the 1920s and see it the way THEY see it.
