From Generation To Generation: A Legacy Of Lullabies

Review "From Generation to Generation: A Legacy of Lullabies" is a hauntingly beautiful compilation of traditional Jewish lullabies from singer Tanja Solnik. Whether she is singing the soothing Yiddish to Zing Faygeleh, Zing, or the familiar Hebrew of Numi, Numi, Solnik manages to invest each song with the kind of emotion and immediacy that draws kids in. Her Ladino melodies are particularly striking, and her accent flawless. And these lullabies work. This reviewer popped the cassette in the car tape player one night last week to try to quiet a screaming 20-month old, and within minutes, the little angel was staring quietly through the moonroof, jabbering placidly to himself. Thank you, Tanja. In fact, this reviewer has two copies of the cassette, one for crib and one for car. -- Los Angeles Jewish Journal, April 14, 1995 A wonderfully beautiful album full of angelic traditional lullabies performed in Yiddish, Hebrew and Ladino by Tanja Solnik, lovely and splendidly moving for any generation or language. Gorgeous and stunning to any ears, the CD is perfect for new parents or grandparents who want to share it with their grandchildren. -- 'Kidbit', Copley News Service, August 2, 1995 These soothing, sometimes haunting songs, transcend language and cultures. -- USA Today, July 31, 1995 You can't go wrong with this lovely lullaby collection. The gentle beauty of "From Generation to Generation: A Legacy of Lullabies" could relax the most restless of nappers. This universal language of parental love crosses all cultural barriers. -- Los Angeles Times, October 14, 1995 You don't have to be Jewish to savor this strikingly beautiful lullaby album. The recording's diamond-cut perfection is matched by Solnik's angel-pure soprano, which fairly floats amidst understated arrangements. -- Family Fun Magazine, December/January 1997 Product Description From Generation To Generation: A Legacy Of Lullabies by Tanja Solnik From the Label Here is a lyrical album which will loose a tear, educe a smile, and magically change an unhappy day (or night) into a dreamily delightful one.

Remember your childhood (or the one you wish you had!), and create a legacy for your own child.
