5.0 out of 5 stars 6 Month Old Loves This (and Other "Einstein" Videos), April 3, 2000

By 

"notkristen" (Forest Hills, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Baby Bach [VHS] (VHS Tape)

We started with Baby Mozart, which absolutely mesmerized our 6-month old son, and promptly bought Baby Bach, Baby Einstein and Baby Shakespeare. I'd say Baby Einstein holds his interest a little less than the others (it's more talk than music), but he really seems to enjoy them all. Some people seem not to like Baby Bach as much as the others, but our son is no less enthusiastic about it than the others -- in our opinion, it's just as well made and the toys are just as interesting (plus, we like Bach!) I don't believe in parking my child in front of the TV, but it is so helpful to be able to put him in his high chair, start this video, then be able to go prepare his dinner, throw a load of laundry in, take a shower -- whatever -- and know that he'll be perfectly content for the next half hour, with the added bonus that it's stimulating, educational and acquaints him with some great music at an early age. I commend the woman who came up with the idea for, and created, these videos and wish I'd thought of it myself.

3.0 out of 5 stars not Baby Mozart, but will do for variety, September 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Bach [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Our 6 month old (very fussy) son absolutely adores Baby Mozart, and we were so relieved to have found something that calmed him down 100% of the time that we bought Baby Bach and Baby Einstein.

I heartily agree with those who say that Baby Bach is a big step down from Baby Mozart--the "timing" (balance of images/music intervals) isn't as good, the toys aren't as interesting to watch and the toys are not as well matched to the music. Furthermore, the "jazzed up" arrangements of the Bach music didn't strike me as very appealing to babies, and (like other reviewers) my baby and I get totally bored by the images of the creators' kids telling jokes, jumping around, and generally hamming it up for the camera. It seemed to me as if they ran out of ideas, so they decided to just film their kids for a while and edit those segments in.

Though I'm a big Bach fan myself, I think the tiniest tykes might not find his music as engaging as Mozart's (at least not the selections they chose), and that may be another problem with this video.

That said, we are afraid that someday soon our little one will get tired of Baby Mozart, so Baby Bach will do for variety. I'm not sorry we bought it, but I hope that the video's producers will wait until they have enough new and good ideas before producing another video, rather than slapping together a production like Baby Bach.

2.0 out of 5 stars Less than enthusiastic, December 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby Bach [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Despite other negative reviews, we bought this tape because our 14 mo. old LOVES Baby Einstein and Baby Mozart. We're sorry we bought it. Baby Bach has a similar format to the first 2 videos in the series but you would think that someone entirely different created the video. It is slow paced, the toys are less vibrant and the music selections are less than energetic. This would be more appropriate for very young babies to view before bedtime. However, my daughter, who will stare at most anything on the television, completely ignored this video. It would seem that the creators sacrificed quality to get another video out quickly. But never fear...Baby Shakespeare is excellent! If you have to make a choice...skip this one. Otherwise, I'm sure it would help for the sake of having some variety.
