Haïk-Vantoura or under her direct or indirect supervision.
They are available via

(N.B.: In the lists of tracks we give on this site, some summaries of the content of the biblical passages involved may
differ from the summaries actually stated on the recording covers.)

| The following recordings are not part of Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura's
oeuvre, but they are included on this page as additional
testimony to the character of ancient music. (The third recording in the list,
Ancient
Echoes, includes two new renditions of Haïk-Vantoura's
Priestly Blessing. The fifth recording,
Music of the Prophets, contains five new renditions of
Haik-Vantoura's work. The sixth includes excerpts from
Haïk-Vantoura's
Priestly Blessing as sung by Esther
Lamandier.) |

OTHER ORDERING INFORMATION
|
 |
All recordings
currently in print:
N.B.: Disques Alienor (France), the publisher of
seven of the eight French recordings of Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura's
restitutions, has shut down operations as of June 2003.
Five of the seven
Alienor
recordings are still
available via
online order from the
Official Web
Site of Esther
Lamandier (e-mail) or via other outlets overseas.
The original recording (Harmonia
Mundi France) is regrettably out of print after 20 years, as
is the original ensemble recording of the Song of Songs. Both are
listed, however, on
Alapage.com in
France (see below) and apparently are still in stock there.
We are in the process of updating our PDF
catalog and order form. Using the above button, you may obtain the
free Adobe Acrobat Reader (if your computer does not have it
already), which is necessary to read and print PDF files (including
many others on this page and elsewhere in this Web site). |

Other places to order recordings in
Europe
(check for current availability):
Jewish Music - JMD: "the U.K.'s leading online shop for
Jewish music" (see search results: "Vantoura"
and "Esther
Lamandier") -- recommended for English-only
speakers as the place to get the
recordings (save the out-of-print Volume 1 and the original
Cantique des cantiques de Salomon)
Alapage.com in
France now has most of the recordings of Suzanne
Haïk-Vantoura's work by Mmes. Haïk-Vantoura, Lamandier and Zakai
(scroll down the following pages for lists of
Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura's and
Esther Lamandier's recordings). The catalog as listed
includes the original 1976 recording and the original ensemble
recording of the Song of Songs.

LYRIC
BOOKLETS
|
|
|
After many years, we are pleased to offer
at last free online copies (in PDF format) of the Latinized
Hebrew-English lyric booklets created by Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura and
Esther Lamandier to accompany their early recordings. These booklets
are being revised little by little, and in time we hope to offer
them with updated typesetting (including Hebrew, Latinized Hebrew
and English texts) and smaller file sizes. We also offer a booklet
based on the original liner notes of the LP version of Musique de
la Grèce antique (see above listings).
All these booklets require the free
Adobe Acrobat Reader (see above left) to read and to print. Each
booklet is several megabytes in size (we hope to fix this in due
time), and downloading them is recommended for those with high-speed
Internet access (or else a great deal of patience). |
