CHAZANUTH AT ITS BEST
Cantor Kusevitsky at Parkview-
'Greenside Synagogue ,
CANTOR SIMCHA KUSEVITSKY,
who came from London to offi-
ciate at the Parkview-Greenside
Synagogue, combines an excellent
voice with expert knowledge of litur-
gical interpretation. The tendency to
convert the service into a mixture of
compositions drawn from different
sources and painfully unrelated is al-
together absent in Kuslevitzky's
singing. He has style and from be-
ginning to end his service is one har-
monious composition. The diction is
perfect and his lyrical tenor has a
mellowness which strains neither the
singer nor the worshipper. There is
no over-emphasis in his prayer, with
the exception, perhaps, of the truah
motif-that trembling sound of the
shofar-which in v·ocal form has been
made famous by Leibele Glancz.
Cantor Kusevitsky's voice is so
good and so melodious that he ought
not to resort to it too often. His
"smooth singing" is a delight to the
ear and moves the hearts of his con-
gregation. His rendering of the
Geshem prayer will long be remem-
bered by his congregation. It was
rich in. quality, warm in tone and full
of traditional praying which is the
backbone of chazanuth. His "hashi-
venu" and "Melech Rachmon" are
examples of the right traditional ap-
proach to the liturgy. The overall
impre'Ssion is that of an outstanding
musical personality, with a warm
J e\vish heart, expre. sed through a
beautiful voice and excellent diction.
There! is no doubt that he repre-
sents chazanuth at its best.
