Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Classical music for children has become a genre unto itself, founded on the premise of brain-power building and all too often steering parental buyers away from the full-blown versions of particular compositions toward reorchestrated renditions. It's frequently the case that a brain-tickling classical set will be played on digital keyboards, with softened tonal colors and shapes. Not so with this excellent Beethoven set. Recognized ensembles take up the music, from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center to the New York Chamber Symphony to the Oxford String Quartet and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. The emphasis is on Beethoven's gentler side, from the poetic "Für Elise" for solo piano to the bucolic settings portrayed in the two selections from Beethoven's Symphony No. 6. This is neither a synapse-popping set of virtuoso performances nor an altered look at Beethoven, but it is a well-selected, well-programmed set of works that will ease a child's brain into the works at hand. --Andrew Bartlett

From Parents' Choice®

The latest research suggests that the jury's still out on whether baby does in fact "need" Beethoven or other classical music, so just let baby-and everybody else-simply relax and enjoy this exquisite collection of symphonies, quintets, and string quartets, exquisitely performed. A 1999 Parents' Choice Approval. (Lynne Heffley, Parents' Choice, 1999)

5.0 out of 5 stars Soothing Music for Baby, November 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Needs Beethoven (Audio CD)
This is a delightful collection of Beethoven's most soothing, melodic pieces. It is good for background music or for quieting a fussy or tired baby. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, Beautiful Renditions, December 13, 2003
By 
Robin (San Clemente, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Needs Beethoven (Audio CD)
This is lovely, soothing music suitable for babies or tired adults! I began listening to it and other "Baby Needs" CD's (the Guitar compilation is wonderful too) before my daughter was born, and have continued to play it for her ever since. Even Classical music purists shouldn't object to hearing just portions of major works-- the compensation is having a complete collection of calm, peaceful music. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for, September 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baby Needs Beethoven (Audio CD)
This CD was what I was hoping it would be. It's a good selection of music, it's not all lullabies, and it won't be annoying no matter how many times baby & I listen to it! They use real music, not a baby version of the music played on a xylophone, like some other CDs I've heard.
