[edit]- If you are interested in seeing this translated, save yourself some time and skip directly to Wikipedia:German-English translation requests/biographies#Music. The Wikipedia:Translation into English link will just lead you through a couple of other pages before you arrive at the right place. This article wasn't yet listed, but I've just added it. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Mention in New York Times Sept. 2006
[edit]For what it's worth, the New York Times recently ran an interview[1] with Ornette Coleman; Josef Rosenblatt was a topic of discussion. I'd never heard of Rosenblatt and know very little about Cantorial singing, but the interview prompted me to see what Wikipedia had about Rosenblatt. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Half-translated.
[edit]Unless I'm mistaken, im not the only Lazy editor here at great old Wikipedia, being that all i can be bothered to do is google translate the hebrew article, and even then only bits of it, albeit touching it up, i've decided to create this new section to place unfinished bits of translation until some brave knight can take up the cause. At least it'll hopefully make the job easier for him... To all the admiring admins at Wikiland, feel free to copy the idea ad infinitum in all other 'Articles needing Translation's :-)
BIRTH
Joseph Rosenblatt was born in May 1882 in the town of White Field, Ukraine. His father Rafael served as a cantor in one of the synagogues in town. His talent was apparent from an early age, and by age 4 he already stood beside his father during prayers, lending an alto noted childish voice. In 1889 authorities forced the family to emigrate to Galicia because his father was an Austrian subject. They initially settled in the court of the Sadigura Rebbe in Bukovina. On the advice of the Rebbe began to move with his family as a "Wandering Chazzan" in major cities, including Chernivtsi, Lviv (Lvov) and Krakow, where he met with success and not inconsiderable income. In 1895 at the age of 13 he moved to Vienna, where he won rave reviews and suggestions from State Conservatory, but his father, who believed that the place of his son was at the prayer stand, refused.
Note: Ah well. There you have it, my best efforts. If this article ever does take off there's going to be a flood of reference requests; There are many articles about him in the Jewish press - as far as i remember the best i ever read was in the English- language Hamodia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.182.143.62 (talk)
