Review:

The concert started with a Lubavitch Niggun called Anim Zemiros that both Eitan and Shlomo sang together.
Then Eitan took the stage and sang in this order:
Three New Songs from Baruch Hu
Ashrei Tivcharu
Galie Kivod
Ma Navu el
From Eitan Katz Unplugged
Yisbarach
Then he sang
Baruch Hu
Lemaancha

Niggun Dmin

Chaim Dovid sang next:
7 Sheppard’s
Open Up the Gates

Chaim Dovid and Shlomo
Kshoshana

Shlomo Katz
Vaaf Al Pe
Yismechu: but sang it with a change as well V’Samachta B’Chagecha…
Hazorim
He then started with singing the Hashanah’s and then moved into Shema Koleinu
The Yarhzeit Niggun Eitan and Shlomo sang together…he said it was the 1 song he’d want to sing to R. Shlomo Carlebach if he’d still be w/us…
Od Yishama: This niggun came down the night before the wedding of Chaim Dovid’s daughter, Shifra
Kevodo Maleie Olam: He sang with his father Cantor Avshalom Katz
He then talked about how his father’s mother jumped off of the train to the gas chambers and how we all need to dream big which led into singing Niggun Nevo and then of course Niggun Neshama…the musician who really stole the show was the Violinist, whose name was Nimrod…

Trendsetting Chasidic Singer Michoel Schnitzler in First-Ever Video Interview‏ VIN NEWS

jewishmusic26@gmail.com (JewishMusic26) — Thu, 1 Oct 2009 11:53:00 -0400

Sea Gate, NY – For the past two decades, trendsetting Chasidic singer Michoel Schnitzler has been in demand at Chareidi weddings from Brooklyn to Belgium and beyond. But few know that Schnitzler was one of the very first, if not the very first, singers to regularly entertain at weddings.

Today, Michoel points out, a singer-less wedding prompts guests to query, “Where’s the singer?” But before Schnitzler’s career took off, if the singer is to be believed in his first-ever video interview conducted by Yossi Zweig of the Z Report, the now-accepted standard was virtually unheard of.

Besides breaking new ground, Michoel claims responsibility for introducing a young and wildly gifted Lipa Schmeltzer and other top talents to the Chasidic music industry. He also notes that he never allowed secular trends to influence his musical style. “I never listen to Goyishe music,” he tells his interviewer.

Michoel also speaks of the hours spent with seriously ill children and others boosting their morale, and the gratitude to Hashem that he feels for the ability to reinvigorate broken hearts.
Advertisement:

Michoel is breaking new ground again with his latest album “Main Kind Tref Mich” the fourth in his “yiddish” series and the tenth of his career—particularly with Track #5, entitled “Der Bochur’s Tzavah.” lyrics here

The controversial song tells the story of an at-risk teen who was a regular guest at Michoel’s home. The unfortunate lad had been expelled from a succession of yeshivos, going from bad to worse and sadly succumbing to a terminal illness.

Before his passing, the young man asked Michoel to address the issue of his sorry peregrinations and those of too many like him.

The song, entitled “Der Bochur’s Tzavah,” takes on the frum society that rejects rather than embraces such suffering souls, wading into controversial territory as it minces few words to challenge a community to change, a challenge that VIN strongly supports, and commands Michoel for standing up, and bringing to the forefront the subject painful to so many.

Michoel discusses all this and more in his first-ever full-length video interview, seen exclusively on VIN
