Yossi Banai reads Tehillim

Yossi Banai is one of Israel's leading performers. Actor, singer, story teller, comic - his distinctive voice sounds sometimes like that of a French Chansonnier (indeed one of his best loved recordings is of Georges Brassens songs), sometimes like that of an old Jerusalemite, which he is.

Buy 'DISK NAME'

His newest recording is like nothing he did before. It is called ‘Yossi Banai Reads Tehillim’. Nineteen Psalms are read, recited, told - it is hard to find the exact word here - in Hebrew. They are accompanied by original music by Jonathan Bar Giora, which is both exquisite and un-obtrusive.

The boxed set includes the CD, with an English and Hebrew listing of the tracks and a hardcover copy (about 8.5" x 6") of Tehilim in Hebrew.

Because I think this set is unique, and as it is not easily purchased outside of Israel, I will send it by airmail anywhere in the world for US$ 45, all included.
