Notes "Cantor Henry Rosenblatt narrated "The Passover Festival" for Tikva Records in order to "...share with all people, the beauty of ritual so eloquently expressed in the seder service..." To the field of liturgical music, the name Malavsky, an esteemed Cantor in his own right, formed a family choir just as soon as each of his six children became old enough to tell one note from the other. For two decades, every country in Europe, each state of the union has thrilled to their interpretations of sacred services and Jewish folk songs. In their 11 week, 40 concert tour of Israel...they reflect a spirit of family unity and artistic achievement that is a credit to us all..." To the cantorial world, the name Rosenblatt is revered in a manner reserved only for the very great. Henry Rosenblatt follows in the footsteps of his illustrious father, Cantor Josef Rosenblatt. He has carried his talmudic tradition one step further by earning an international reputation as an operatic soloist as well as a respected cantor."
