4.0 out of 5 stars Good for baby or good for profits?, October 4, 1999

This review is from: Baby Needs Bach (Audio CD)

I promised myself I would never again review these compilations in which pieces of this and that longer composition are pulled out of context and rearranged under some pretext as "A Night in Spain" or "Beethoven Goes to the Movies" or this latest "scientific" discovery that peaceful music is good for babies. Peaceful music is good for everybody, for heaven's sake; and the only reason I am writing this is because I am playing the Delos CD and it put me into a good mood.

Any decent classical collection will doubtless have all these pieces in their proper places; but if you are giving a candlelight supper and want some very nice background music, this CD is a wonderful source of same.

But getting to the point, I shudder to think of wee ones growing up bombarded by ear-splitting rock or salsa or rap and of what it does to their growing nervous systems (the adults are probably beyond all hope by this time). Perhaps Bach and Mozart and the other composers who will appear in this "Baby Needs..." series will not make them any smarter, but it certainly will not fry their cerbral cortexes before they can walk.

Of course this is a selling gimmick! But with music as beautful as this, who cares?

I am employed as a teacher in a daycare facility and work with children from the ages of 1-2 years of age. I purchased this CD to play when the children are going down for their daily naps after lunch. They absolutely adore the beautiful music contained on this CD...and so do I. After they have all fallen asleep I straighten up the room and prepare for the afternoon while being soothed myself by the wonderful melodies from Bach. Every one a gem! I highly recommend this CD to anyone who needs to unwind and let go of some of the stress built up during a long day. Play it for the babies and play it for yourselves as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, soothing music- this is the one to buy!, August 23, 2002

My son LOVES this CD- we've played it to him every night since he was in the womb and it always soothes him when he's fussy. We've purchased a number of other "baby classical music CD's" that have ranged in quality from decent to awful, but this one is absolutely sublime. It has a beautiful selection of the original arrangements- not some watered-down, re-arranged baby versions.
