Kol nidrei (Kal Nidré)
A rare recording of the Eastern Sephardi melody for the opening prayer for the Eve of Yom Kippur. Unlike the well-known, elaborate Ashkenazi melody, the Sephardi melody is a litany of a narrow range, alternating embellished passages with strictly syllabic sections, that clearly delineates the literary structure of the text.
