This is definitely inferior to the Sparkiling Syphony Stacker it replaces. I thought I was buying the Sparkling Sympnony, but when I got it I was so disappointed! The songs are much shorter, encouraging the modern problem of short attention span in children. The musical selections aren't as good/interesting: some classical melodies have been replaced with nursery rhyme tunes found on every other baby toy. Yes, the melodies are cut off strangely. The "ta-da" sound is obnoxious - I really miss the twinkling, fairy-like sound of the other. It was so much softer and nicer for baby's ears.

I had this classic toy w/o lights and music when I was a little girl and loved it! When I saw the "Sparkling Symphony" version before my baby was born I really wanted to get it, but held out until he was older. Now there is this new "Classical Chorus" version. This stacker is similar to the older but much more improved. It still plays 3 classical tunes and now 2 "up-beat" tunes. When the lights go off it appears that the star is singing to the music--so cute! When you push the star it makes a "Ta-Da!" noise letting the child know "you did it!". I am so glad that I held out and ended up finding this one! It was an instant hit with my little boy and it is educational too! Great job Fisher Price! I am buying this as a gift for a friends's little guy turning 1 year old this weekend. I am so excited because I know he will be thrilled when he opens it!

The Sparkling Symphony Stacker played very nice musical selections and had a nice sparkly effect when you hit the top. Now, the star sings "Da-Da-Da-Da" every time you hit it, and it's annoying. Plus, the musical selections that are played are shorter than the selections played by the sparkling symphony stacker, and the way they cut the music is very odd.

You're kid will probably like it, but you will quickly get annoyed by it. My 18 month old still loves his Sparkling Symphony Stacker and I still enjoying listening to it when he plays it. I think Fisher Price made a mistake with this new version.

This toy is amusing for my child, but I've found that the first thing she did was realize there are two buttons on the top that cause all the lights and music - she doesn't try to stack the rings, she just keeps hitting the buttons to get the music. The stacker looks pretty with the rings on, but when the rings are off, the white light is a little too bright for my taste. If you want an educational toy, get a regular non-musical stacker instead and if you want a musical toy, I'm sure there are ones on the market that do more than have just 2 buttons and play songs, but this does not encourage the child to learn how to stack the rings.

I read some people complianing of the music, doesn't bother us a bit. Babies learn through repitition. Our son really likes to play with this in the dark, he claps like crazy when he sees it. I do wish it had an on/off switch though. I also like that it's small and we can take it with us.

This is a new version of a classic stacker toy. My baby has had it since she was 2 months old and has continued to play with it. It's somewhat of an old stand by but I'm glad it still interests her.

We received this as a shower gift. Now my son is 5 months old. Since he was born, nothing captures his attention like this toy! Whenever he is crying, this quiets him down instantly. Now he is learning to reach for it. He happily watches it and "talks" to it. I am so glad we have this toy!

This toy has stayed in excellent condition through three children! I am a childen's photographer, so I have kids of all ages in and out of my home...they all love it!

my son loves this toy so so so so so much its great if you hve company over and you want to get away from the baby It defenetly is a must buy

My son is 9 months old and has never played with this toy consistantly. He becomes bored with it easily, pulls off the stars, looks at the lights, etc and then discards. The most interesting part about the toy to him is that the top (the part with the smiley face) has a little hickey do kind of push lever thing in the lid of it that he presses with his finger over and over again, and really could care less about the toy as a whole.
