Cantor Deborah Katchko's CD, "Kinder Songs", is a family collection of Jewish songs and melodies that includes traditional and more contemporary pieces ranging from children sing-a-long choruses, jazz guitar ensemble support, and bare voice with minor accompaniment in both Hebrew and English. The recording is recorded in such a way that it sounds live in an auditorium. The CD begins with the light and child-ful "Shabbat Shabbat Menucha". Cantor Katchko leads a group of children in the opening tune about Friday night's Sabbath, 'first we light the Shabbat candle, what a sight on Friday night'. Track 8, "Eytz Chaim Hi", brings jazz guitar support to the soprano vocal qualities of Katchko - which can undeniably compared to the nurturing qualities of Joan Baez. Track 11, "I Have a Little Dreidel", is a warm and exciting rendition of the kids' favorite. Track 16, "The Tree Song", is a contemporary folk song within a spiritual setting that again marries Katchko's sweet soprano with guitar. The message is right, 'try to be more like a tree, it knows just when to bend, and it knows when you should take a stand helping strangers helping a friend'. The final track, "Rojinkes Mit Mandlen", is a showcase for Katchko's voice as the Cantor performs with finesse and kindness. The CD may have been mastered from a taped source, and there is some high frequency tape noise, but it does not detract from the enjoyment and quality of the inspiring music and talented performance.
