Biography

David D'or singing at Israel Prize ceremony

David D'Or was born in

Libyan rabbi, and his father brought the family from Libya to Israel.[7][9] His brother is Yaniv d'Or
, who is also a singer.

When he was young, D'Or's parents encouraged him to become a lawyer or a doctor, but he simply loved to sing.[11] When his voice began to change, he worked to retain his ability to sing notes in a high range. For a while he was quite shy about singing using his high range, as it was unusual in Israel—which he explains used to be "quite a machoistic country—for someone to sing with such a high voice, and he had no one to imitate as no Israeli men sang in such a high voice, but he says that now it is "part of me."[11][12] "[I]t was like using [only] part of me", he said. "I could sing low and I could sing high; [I]t's like using only one hand...you have two hands, and you're using only your right hand."[12]

During his three years of military service, D'Or served as a singer in the Israeli Military Band, and in 1985–86 he was in the

Israeli Army Central Command troops entertainment group, and took part in the record Be'sha'araikh Yerikho.[7][13][14] Though thankful for the opportunity, and sensitive to Israel's need to have an army to defend itself, D'Or felt that music and the army didn't mesh well together, and viewed his years in the army as a difficult period in terms of his musical development.[15]

D'Or is married to Pazit, formerly a jewelry designer and now his manager. They met as high school students in Bat Yam.[16] They have two children and reside in the Israeli town of Savyon near Tel Aviv.[15]

Music career

After his army service, D'Or and two army colleagues (Benny Nadler and Rivi Ben-Basht) formed a trio named HaShlishiya (the "Threesome"), but it disbanded after just one single. A few months later he formed another group, named Kav 4 ("Fourth Chord"), but it disbanded before completing its inaugural album.

Habima Theater for four years, during which time he received outstanding reviews, such as Maariv's review of Cry the Beloved Country: "D'or's outstanding voice is meant for great parts. His voice and presence embraces the audience, who showed their appreciation by a lengthy standing ovation".[20] He was at the same time professionally trained, and tutored by Soprano Miriam Melzer, from 1987 to 1990 at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, from which he graduated.[7][21][22]

In 1991, D'Or was accepted into and enrolled in the classical music department of the

Yediot Achronot reviewed his performance, writing: "David D’Or is a contra tenor with tone, colour and exceptional style well beyond other soloists".[20]

1992–99: Early years

In 1992, D’Or released his first album entitled David D'Or.

Big Beat Records and Magnet Records, and reached # 3 in the most frequently played charts in Great Britain.[19][23]

His second album, Be'govah Mishtane ("Changing Altitudes", or "Changing Heights"), released January 1, 1993,

Shuly Nathan.[29][30] The CD consisting mostly of songs composed by D'Or was even more successful than its predecessor and went platinum.[26][31] Globus reviewed the album and wrote the following: "In an age in which it seems that a good voice is not particularly necessary to be a singer, David D'Or comes along and reminds anyone who had forgotten that not only can things be different, they need to be different. Simply put, D'Or sings beautifully and knows how to choose songs that fit his unique voice...One has to credit him for fulfilling his mission with bravura; his voice on stage sounds as good and convincing as it does in the recording studio. The wide variety of styles that he incorporates in his music, along with his superb vocal ability, allows him to appeal to adults and youths alike."[20] Later in 1993, D'Or participated in the televised competition to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest (Kdam Erovizion), with his song "Parpar,"[32] and came in fourth place.[33][34]

Side by side with his classical education, D'Or was drawn to

The Friends of Natasha".[38]

In 1995, as Israel and the

Hebrew for the Pope.[40] After he performed for the Pope ("He held my hand and gave me his blessing", D'Or said. "I just kept thinking: 'Here I am, little David from Israel, singing in Hebrew...It was a very powerful thing.'"),[7] D'Or was invited to perform in Italy, where he appeared on TV shows such as Maurizio Costanzo on Channel 1, and Paulo Limiti on Channel 2.[14][36] The Italian press, such as Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica, gave D'Or positive reviews.[36]

In 1997, D'Or released his fourth album, David D’Or & Etti Ankri,

Muslim, and Christian religions, emphasizing the message of "love your neighbor." The work was composed by Georgian-born Israeli composer Josef Bardanashvilli, subsequently opened in a series of concerts of the orchestra in Israel and throughout the US, and was a great success.[14][43]

Singer of the Year and Eurovision

His fifth album entitled Baneshama ("In the Soul") was released on March 31, 2001, with 11 of the 12 tracks written by D'Or.[36][44][45][46]

In 2001, D'Or was named Israel's Singer of the Year and Best Vocal Performer.[43][47]

In 2002, he was again named Israel's Singer of the Year (receiving the

D’Or then released David D’Or & the Philharmonic; Live Concert on April 1, 2003,

Yediot Achronot reviewed the CD in its opera section and wrote the following: "D’Or excelled...with his fantastic counter tenor voice...in a most exciting performance. All in all, this is a very moving CD."[20] That year D'Or also released the CD "Shma Israel", [1] and "The Hidden Gate: Jewish Music from Around the World" was released by Rounder Records on July 1, featuring what The Independent described as "haunting stuff" from David D'Or.[56]

During Eurovision rehearsal week, D'Or left Istanbul to be with his father who was suffering from diabetes and had been rushed to a hospital where one of his legs had to be amputated.[62] D'Or then returned to Istanbul to perform[63] on May 12, 2004,[11] and placed 11th in the semi-final failing to qualify to the final, while 19% of Israeli viewers watched on television.[3][64] His father has since died.[3][62]

On June 1, 2004, he released the CD entitled Le Haamin ("To Believe").[65] His performance of the song was also on the official Eurovision compilation CD, Eurovision Song Contest: Istanbul 2004, released that year by CMC Entertainment. [2] In 2004, he also collaborated with Sarit Hadad to record the DVD "Pets in Tunes.

D'Or sang for

Harlem, New York – the last church in New York City that Martin Luther King Jr., spoke at prior to his 1968 assassination. D'Or obliged with a performance of "Amazing Grace" before a crowd including former President Bill Clinton and Dr. King who was reduced to tears.[7][12]

He also performed in the 2007

WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance) festival concert, and in reviewing his performance BBC Radio referred to his voice as "sensational".[78] D'Or described an experience that he had singing at the festival as follows: "I had a concert in the Canary Islands...in the WOMAD Festival in front of something like 20,000 people, and then I saw just in front of me, a group of Palestinian young people with a huge Palestinian flag. And at the beginning I was very tense because I didn't know what their intentions were. I closed my eyes and said 'Look, you speak always about the power of music and how music can get people close to each other', and I was like aiming to their heart, and I'm singing especially for them, and then when I opened my eyes and I saw those people dancing with the Palestinian flag and singing with me together, and it was for me like an amazing sight, because this is something that I don't think ever happened before. I don't know why this world...is choosing...always...war and hate, because things are much easier to solve if you just want to solve them, that's what I feel. And maybe it's naïve, but this is my belief."[12]

On December 11, 2007, D'Or released Live Concert.[79] D'Or composed most of the songs on the album, which included "Kiss from a Rose" (in English), "Sri Lanka" (instrumental), and an Arabic song.[46]

In 2008, D'Or also released Shirat Rabim ("Prayers", or "Songs of the Many"—"A World Prayer; The Jewish Project of David D'Or and Patric Sabag"), a collection of prayers that he had originally heard from his father, and which he focused on when he started attending synagogue to say kaddish after his father's death. The album went gold in just three weeks.[12][80][15][81] He also performed in all the 2008 WOMAD festival concerts, including in London with Peter Gabriel, the founder of the world music festival,[82] and won the WOMAD "Favorite of the Audience" Award,[14]

Lecha D'odi" is featured on the compilation album Womad New Zealand 2008, which was released on June 2, 2008, by Shock Records.[84][85] The year was capped when D'Or became an Israel Cultural Excellence Foundation ("IcExcellence") chosen artist in 2008, receiving one of Israel's highest recognitions for excellence in the arts.[86]

In 2008 and 2009, D'Or performed in a series of "Voice of Love"

tikun olam, or "repairing the world". "We believe that all humanity is connected in a way", said D'Or.[89]

D'Or sang a medley including "Amazing Grace" and a rendition of the traditional Hebrew melody "

gospel choirs.[90][91]

In May 2009 D'Or sang, along with

Israeli President Shimon Peres as the Pope visited Israel.[92][93][94]

Vocal style

D'Or's voice has a range (or "diapason") of more than four octaves.[18][36][95] His vocal range in head voice is from G3 in scientific pitch notation, up to a well-defined G5 (as heard in one of the final notes in the "Phantom of the Opera" track in his album David D'Or and the Philharmonic), thus making him a "mezzo-soprano" type of countertenor.[96]

D'Or's voice is unusually versatile and flexible,[9][36] and notable for its unique tone and color,[97] and for having a very recognizable sound. His voice is characterized by powerful fullness and richness, making it seem as though it is his natural singing voice, created without use of the falsetto technique. However, despite its richness his voice cannot be compared to the color of a contralto, unlike singers such as David Daniels, given that D'Or has a unique, male-sounding timbre. When he sings in modern fashion, he employs his speaking—or chest—voice, instead of his singing, alto voice.[3][96] D'Or has been compared to Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli ( but with a Middle Eastern flavor),[98] and his voice has been described as having the smoothness of Jack Johnson overlaid with the falsetto style of Jeff Buckley.[99]

Performances

In addition to singing for two Popes, D'Or has also sung for Israeli President Shimon Peres, Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, the King and Queen of Sweden at the Swedish Royal Palace in Stockholm, Nelson Mandela, Tony Blair, and Bill Clinton.[7][8][9][21]

D’Or has performed with the

Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Budapest Philharmonic, the China Philharmonic Orchestra, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra,[18] the New York Symphony Orchestra, the Las Vegas Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.[21][31]

D'Or has performed across the world, including in the United States, England, the Canary Islands, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Italy, Turkey, India, Thailand, Australia, China, Taiwan, Singapore, the Philippines, Morocco, and Israel. He sang before audiences of 55,000 people in Trafalgar Square in London, and 40,000 in Paris.[14][21][100][101]

Pseudonym meaning

D'Or means "golden" or "of gold" in French, and in Francophone countries he is referred to as "golden David" or "David of gold".[citation needed]
