Jewish Music on 88 Note Piano Rolls
By Jeffrey Borinsky

[ In MMD 970822 Larry Greenfield asks about Jewish music on piano rolls. ]

The 1995/6 QRS catalogue lists a total of 5 rolls with Hebrew and/or
Yiddish words.  These include a Chanukah medley, Kol Nidrei and Havah
Nagilah.  I find it difficult to imagine how Kol Nidrei would sound on
the piano; I can think of it only as the haunting synagogue chant or the
marvellous cello work by Max Bruch.
