Is there a place online where I can find recordings of Chabad chazzanus (i.e. the tunes a Chabad chazzan would use for Hodu, Shemoneh Esrei, etc.)? The recordings should preferably be free online. Thanks.

AFAIK there's no free recordings out there, but here's what I have found:
- Davening with the Rebbe - a recording of the Lubavitcher Rebbe davening shacharis on a weekday. Generally speaking, Chabad chassidim will use the same tune.
- Yossi Rutman has put out a CD with the Chabad nusach for the Yamim Nora'im, available on his website and on Kehot Online.

The recordings of the Rebbe davening are as good a source as any for the weekday tunes, sure that is what the majority of Chassidim use. However, I came across quite a number of (especially younger) Chassidim who use a different tune, one which I personally disfavor. Were your asking for Shabbat and Yom Tov tunes as well? Since the latter can have a huge variety of versions, often with subtle differences.– YsiegelCommented Dec 20, 2018 at 7:34

@Ysiegel I think you meant to ask that question to the OP, not to me.– user9643Commented Feb 5, 2019 at 2:04

Interesting, in the recording of the Rebbe davening he clearly says the ending of the bracha gaal yisroel out loud. In my experience, Chabad communities nowadays always finish that bracha silently.– DanielCommented Feb 5, 2019 at 2:08

@Ploni very interesting. My shul is not Chabad and we say that bracha out loud, but I have davened in countless Chabad houses and shuls and they have always said it quietly (along with the brachos oheiv amo/habocher b'amo yisroel). It was to the extent that I thought this was a particularly strong Chabad custom.– DanielCommented Feb 5, 2019 at 2:26
This is a recording of the nusach for Rosh hashanna and yom kipur from someone who was a chazan (cantor) during the Lubavotcher Rebbe's lifetime. Here is an article about it.... https://www.collive.com/show_news.rtx?id=31850&alias=the-nusach-sung-before-the-rebbe and here it can be purchased... https://www.hamafitz.com/tefillos-of-the-days-of-awe.html

1Sorry to reply to such an old chain, but it seems that these recordings of R' Nochem Kaplan have been out of stock for years. Does anyone know where I can find them? Commented Aug 27 at 14:38
