The Recorded Sound Archives (RSA) is a unit of FAU Libraries Special Collections department. We are located in the Wimberly Library on FAU's Boca Raton campus.
Originally established in 2002 as a small project dedicated to the preservation of recorded Jewish music, it has matured into a robust digitization operation for all types of sound recordings.

| Notes | This is a very special recording, which features Cantor Leon Lissek and his daughter Shira, alternating as soloists. On four selections they join for duets. Some of the loveliest songs from the theatre, opera and art songs genre have been included on this album. Their duets are especially appealing, in such numbers as “Make Believe,” “Tonight,” and “All I Ask of You.” The final song, which is also the title of the recording, has a poignancy which remains with the listener long after the song is over. The musical selections are enhanced by Arbie Orenstein's piano accompaniment. |
