Editorial Reviews

From Parents' Choice®

While the language of the eleven songs in this collection of lullabies is Yiddish, Ladino or Hebrew, listeners quickly understand the universal language of a mother's love. Simple acoustic backups, mainly guitar and balalaika, are a foil for this singer's exquisite, unaffected voice.

Product Description

A treasure of Jewish lullabies sung in their original Yiddish, Hebrew and Ladino make up this memorable collection. Tanja Solnik's exquisitely delicate interpretations are perfectly accompanied by piano, guitar, and balalaika. This album was honored as a Notable Children's Recording by The American Library Association.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless, lovely, and sleep-inducing!, April 14, 2000

By A Customer

I found this album soon after my daughter was born. I was looking for a good recording of Rozhinkes Mit Mandlen, and listened to clips from several different cd's. As soon as I heard this rendition, I knew I could stop looking. These are beautifully unaffected presentations of classic songs. They neither dress up nor dumb down the material. Rather, the melodies and warm, smooth voice take center stage. Adults can take pleasure in this cd even after repeated plays, and my baby was soothed every time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, soothing, inspiring, January 24, 2003

By	Matthew A. Goldberg (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This collection of lullabies from the Jewish tradition defies the usual standards and soars above your expectations; every song is a delight to hear. The bright instrumentals employed are minimal and exciting; the vocals, pure and gorgeous. Do not be fooled by the word "lullabies" - I highly recommend this album for adult and baby alike.
