If you would like to hear the Mourner's Kaddish, you can listen to two different versions.

The first is a recording of Cantor Pinchas Rabinovicz, obtained from 613.org.

(NOTE: This prayer is sung by Cantor Rabinovicz using Ashkenazic pronunciation, which differs substantially from the Sephardic dialect used by Reform synagogues and in Israel. Ashkenazic is rarely heard today - only older Jews of Eastern European descent and Chasidic Orthodox continue to use it. This file requires installation of the Real Player, if it is not already on your PC. Get RealOne)

The second version by Cantor Rabinovicz demonstrates the now-standard Sephardic pronunciation in use by most congregations.
