From Generation To Generation: A Legacy Of Lullabies

"Your music has meant a great deal to me... I believe that each of us has one important mitzvah to accomplish in life. You are blessed with a beautiful voice and a special feeling for your music and I have been chosen to teach about the suffering and heroism of the Jewish people during the Holocaust.  Your music has helped me to teach my students about the richness of our life and culture in Eastern Europe before the war. Thank you, Tanja." ---Jack Silverstein, Tallahassee, FL "It really is a good deed that you are recording this music -- so beautifully. Thanks!" --Sharona Berken, Cold Spring, NY "I like the tape very much. Most of the songs were the ones I sang to my children many years ago, and now I am glad that my grandchildren will have them available for their young children when they marry and have a family of their own." --Tillie DeRusha, Encino, CA "I was given a copy when my daughter was born. A Legacy of Lullabies has become our favorite bedtime routine, to play as my children fall asleep. I have two older boys, ages 10 and 8, and they also love these songs. Your recordings are such a gift -- a Jewish gift.  There is nothing better than your songs to put us in touch with who we are and where we come from. It's as if all the beloved Bubbies & Zaidies from all the generations are right there with us, watching over us as we sleep. God bless you. Thank you so much." --Rhona Friedland, North Miami Beach, FL ----------- 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 Should I mention the soothing simplicity of the piano, guitar and balalaika arrangements? What about Tanja's golden voice? Maybe I should start with the expert musicianship? Or the amazing way that she communicates to all though singing in Yiddish, Hebrew or Ladino. I'd surely like to distinguish this tape from the plethora of syrupy warbling that floods the market. Perhaps this will say it best. Tanja's album inspired me to write this review four months in advance at a time when my writing had just about dried up! If you are a parent, if you have a child, if your child sleeps, then you need this tape. There, that says it. -- Baltimore's Child
