[1K Yrs of History] Ep24 - Salomon Sulzer (1804-1890)
Chazzan Salomon Sulzer transformed the music of the Ashkenazi Synagogue Service and elevated the role of the Chazzan (Cantor) from someone who merely leads the prayers to a figure nearly as prominent as the Rabbi in many Synagogues. Hear about Sulzer's life, work and innovations, and watch to the end for a recording of Sulzer's Ein Kamocha, the most well-known and sung in Ashkenazi Synagogues to this day.
