Nissim Saal - Tal | נסים סאאל - טל Nissim Saal - Tal | נסים סאאל - טל

This year, the Chazzanut world will commemorate the 90th anniversary of the passing of the king of cantors, Cantor Yossele Rosenblatt. Yochi Briskman presents Cantor Nissim Saal, with a moving tribute to the cantor who influenced him the most - Yossele Rosenblatt of course! Exactly 100 years ago Yossele recorded one of the flagship pieces of the Chazzanut world - "Tal". On Erev Pesach 5783, Nissim presents to us, his own special rendition of this wonderful piece. Yossele was the first to record a piece on the words of "Tal" - a piece that has everything: Opening melody, in the Jewish Freygish scale - captivating, exquisite Nusach, emotion and supplication, and chorus in the festive major scale, at the end of the piece. And of course, the most famous coloratura in the cantorial repertoire: a coloratura on one word - "Tal", which every cantor must know, and every Chazzanut connoisseur is impatiently waiting for. "Tal" was recorded by Nissim, accompanied by the “SFY” symphony orchestra and choir under the direction of the late Dr. Mordechai Sobol. The arrangement was written by Dr. Mordechai Sobol and Ofir Sobol, who also produced the music. The music video was filmed in the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam. The synagogue was built about 350 years ago, and is still considered one of the largest and most impressive buildings in Amsterdam. The special and impressive structure, covered with stone and a reddish-brown shade, was a model to be imitated, and other synagogues in the Spanish diaspora of Western Europe were built according to its style. The synagogue is considered an important heritage site for Dutch Jews and European Jews in general. Nissim Saal in tribute to Yossele Rosenblatt.
