The news of cantor Benzion Miller's passing has left a profound sense of loss among the many to whom his voice and soul-stirring evocations were familiar. In a testament to his legacy, this sense, it seems, is ubiquitous, and the newspapers abound with his eulogies. We share a small tribute here in presenting 2.5 hours of his works, primarily his output in the 80s years, and a brief intro by host E. Bick. The first hour contains material from cassettes, followed by an additional hour-and-a-half, featuring performances from a live Chanuka concert with Motzen from 1982, more recordings on cassette, and finally, his earliest works on the record "Tefila L'Yerushalayim" which showcase the voice and all its characteristics in its natural condition and appropriate setting.
More performances on vinyl, more cantorial gems, just before the turn of turn of the month. Enjoy this month's special feature, Charlie's contribution to the intro, sharing with us some biographical info about the life of cantor Ben Zion Kapov-Kagan. This is a new feature on the program and will hopefully be a regular part of the show in the future.
Chanukah Sameach to our listeners. Here is an exciting new compilation of songs for the upcoming holiday, featuring more vinyl records, for children and adults to enjoy together. Completed just in the nick of time, the show boasts a delightful variety of songs which are digitized from 10 different LPs, and runs 2 hours long in total (no intros). Several of these recordings contain kol isha, which may be of concern to some individuals.
8 Cantors on Vinyl. Lots of great works here, which range from cantorial classics by Oysher and M.K., to cantor Benjamin Unger in "Chassidic Melodies" and Mischa A. singing "A Yiddish Song".
9 Cantors on Vinyl. Enjoy this curated collection of great voices from the past presented by new host of the program, E. Bick. I have finally taken a few minutes to introduce my new presence on the program and provide some details regarding the state of the show. I hope it is informative.
An Hour-and-a-Half of Live Selichos Services, Lead by Five Great Cantors. A must-listen.

Trudie, Goldie, Ruthie, and Mort talk about the family's musical history, accompanied by interspersed selections of Malavsky recordings. This one is a real classic.
One Hour of Chazanut. Finally, it's back to the classic format, a plethora of great cantorial recordings all digitized from their original LPs. Once again, I fill in for Charlie, whose been quite busy of late, but don't worry; Charlie will be back with more Cantorial Soul Music again next week.
The May 8th concert was a wonderful event which paid tribute to Charlie's legacy in chazanut. I was priveleged to attend and listen as each of the cantors sang and gave tribute to Charlie's four decades of dedication to the cantorial art.

Please accept my apology concerning shows of May and June. During May I spent two weeks in Israel. Had prepared shows for May and June to ‘cover’ also for other issues. I had been preparing for the wonderful cantorial concert for June 20th. It was fabulous!!!
Not only was it a sell-out more than three weeks in advance, but we added seats be put in the background of the stage. If you have yet to see the program, go to ‘cantorsworld.com. Also, don’t get ‘left out’ because you are not left on our mailing list. Simply go to charliebernhaut.com where you can easily sign up.
Enough!!! Thanks for your understanding.
