Subject: Re: [JM] Earliest recording of "Hatikvah"

In response to Joel's query, the earliest recording of "Hatikvah" I have 
documented so far is one recorded in Warsaw in 1902 by a certain Cantor 
Kipnis.  Discographical details are:

Record label:    The Gramophone Company

Catalogue No. :    11654

Matrix No. :         631C

At the same session Cantor Kipnis also recorded the Zionist anthem 'Dort Wo 
die Zeder' (There Where the Cedar) (Catalogue No. 11655; Matrix No. 632C).

What gives this recording added interest is that it may well have been made 
by Menachem Kipnis (1878-1842), the legendary folklorist, pioneer 
photographer, humorist and much else.  At around about this time he was a 
cantor at the Tlomacki Synagogue in Warsaw.  Unfortunately, I have so far 
been unable to establish the precise dates of his tenure there.

Hope this helps,

Mike Aylward
