Cantor Yaakov Stark - Cantorial Classics - Tefilas Geshem

Meir Briskman presents: Cantorial Classics - Geshem

Chazzan Yaakov Stark in a heartfelt performance of “Tefilas Geshem” by Jacob Rappaport/Moshe Ganchoff.

In continuation of the successful “Cantorial Classics” series and in preparation for the upcoming Yom Tov Sukkos and winter season, Chazzan Yaakov Stark releases an emotional and heartfelt rendition of “Tefilas Geshem,” originally performed by Cantor Moshe Ganchoff and composed by Jacob Rappaport.

Cantor Stark has dedicated this performance of “Tefilat Geshem” to the people of Eretz Yisroel after a year of great suffering, beginning with the horrific massacre and the captives who have not yet returned home. With his pleading voice, he brings to life the words that have gained even deeper meaning in recent times: “Their blood was spilled like water,” urging us to ask Hashem once again, “Turn to us, as our souls are overwhelmed by water.”

As always, this is a high-quality production, directed by conductor and arranger Meir Briskman. Chazzan Stark is accompanied on piano by the internationally renowned Menachem Bristowski, along with the ‘Core Music Collective’ choir.

Cantor Yaakov Stark - Cantorial Classics

It is rare that Klal Yisroel should be preparing for the Yom Tov of Pesach in such difficult circumstances, whether it is the fear generated by the wave of terror in the Eretz Yisroel or the anxiety surrounding the grinding war in Ukraine. But amid the peril, the light of Redemption is hidden. It is therefore precisely this time that Chazzan Yaakov Stark presents his "Umipnei Chato'einu".

"Umipnei Chato'einu" serves as a sequel to Stark's first clip two months ago, a premiere release which was greeted joyfully by music lovers. This composition, too, is the work of producer Meir Briskman.

"Umipnei Chata'einu" was composed by Yaakov Rapaport. Stark chose to release it at this time in honor of Rosh Chodesh Nissan, a month which heralds the ultimate Geulah and the building of the Beis Hamikdash.

Stark is accompanied by the international pianist Menachem Bristowski and sings alongside the Core Music Collective choir. Adding to this, this exciting piece was filmed in the Beis Medrash Hagadol in Tel Aviv - where the heavenly voices and sounds are accentuated by the vibrations in the atmosphere.
