Cantors Singing Mizmor Shir.
Well, initially i was impressed, for never before had i seen Helfgot sing together with Stark, and i had even heard that Helfgot prefers not to. But after i watched the video i was disappointed, as Helfogt doesn't even sing at all, a solo that is.
I don't know what was supposed to be, but it seems something went wrong. First at the 2:48 mark when the other chazan looks at Helfogt and Helgot shakes his head. Then at the 3:10 mark it seems Shtark finishes his solo and he looks at Helfogt and he nods his head while Shtark seems to motion for Helfgot to take it away, but Shtark then goes on to continue singing!
At any rate this is some pretty sensational singing by Shtark.

I think the middle Chazzan is Naftali Hershtak...
What I think:
At 2:48 Hershtik turns to Helfgot, and if you notice Hershtik looks surprised. Helfgot gives him a 'nu-nu' motion.
Hypothesis: I think according to the plan made at rehearsals, at around 2:48 Shtark was supposed to stop and Helfgot was supposed to take over. But he didn't stop, which is why Hershtik gave the surprised glance to Helfgot (as if to say, "What is going on?") and Helfgot went "nu-nu". Later, when Shtark did stop, Helfgot was no longer interested in singing, because he was annoyed with him.
Stark is the best, that's why he is afraid to sing with him, its public and everybody knows about it...
