1.0 out of 5 stars Volume Control, May 15, 2002

This review is from: Baby's First Classics, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

This is a good CD as far as the content of the CD, BUT whoever made this CD had no consideration of the recording levels between tracks. One song will be nice a smooth and quiet, then the next track will blow you away. It literally wakes up my child after he has fallen asleep. Out of a volume scale of 10 we have the first song on 5 to barely have it playing in the background for him to sleep, then the next track we have to turn it to 2 becasue it wakes him up, then we have to adjust it to 4 on the next. SOOOO if you are going to stay with him the whole time and be able to change the volume for each song, this CD is for you. I wish I can get my money back but it has been too long. Sooo on to find the next CD for him!...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, December 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby's First Classics, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

I have owned and played this CD ever since my son was born!(he is now 2.5 yrs. old)

The music always seemed to soothe him when he was crying or agitated. Over the past couple of years it has worked wonders..it has now become the "if nothing else works" CD. It Always helps him to calm down at nap time. Helps him concentrate when we are reading together. Sometimes if I have some important work to do, it helps him stay calm and non-disruptive.

I had read about the positive effects of classical music on children, and I must say, I totally agree.

I am also a violin player, and really have respect for classical music, so it gives me a satisfaction that I am giving my son some quality, mind-strengthening music.

If you like classical or not, this CD is excellent for your children, and indirectly it will be good for you too! It is an excellent gift for new parents too.

One piece of advice I would like to give to those of you who are not really familiar with classical music. If the sound is new to you, listen to this at a low volume, because the soft music may suddenly swith to loud full-on sounds, so if it's up high, it may surprize you!

Hope your children enjoy it!

The CD's are wonderful. Soft and mellow classical music. It is marketed for babies, but, it could just as easily be packaged for hyperactive kindergartener's, teens, or stressed adults. My wife and I listen to it together as gentle background music. It has some great pieces, nice selection. Recommend, worth the cost new or used.
