The Recorded Sound Archives has digitized a collection of cantorial music by Cantor Shloimele Rothstein<\/a><\/strong> , one of over 260 Cantorial voices to choose from in the RSA’s Cantorial Collection<\/a><\/strong>.
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Bessarabia<\/span> on May 1, 1891 in the town of Falesty<\/span>. He was the first Cantor to sing on KDKA<\/span> radio in Pittsburgh in 1926 and was contracted by Columbia Grafonola to produce phonograph recordings along with being Cantor at Synagogue B’nai Israel in Brooklyn, NY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shloimele’s only teacher was Jerome Hayes of whom he learned several operas with. As a result, he was offered the leading tenor role in “La Juive<\/em><\/strong>” by an Opera Co., but refused the offer to give his attention to the Synagogue, Phonograph and Concert work. He passed away on October 19, 1966, at the age of 75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is also known as Shlomo<\/span> Rothstein<\/span>, Sol Rothstein<\/span> & Solomon Rothstein.
