5.0 out of 5 stars Classical, Jazz and Opera Bach all in one, May 29, 2001

This review is from: Bach for Babies: Fun and Games for Budding Brains (Audio CD)

This is a versatile collection in terms of composition, performance and layout. Comparing to most of CD with classical selections for baby, this edition is more nutritious and rich on musical experience. Genre wise, the piano solo, concerti, chamber and opera are all included. Performance wise, it is absolute a feast -- Sir Neville Marrier conducting Academy of St. Martin-in-the fields, Jazz Pianist John Lewis delivering the charming and uplifting variation, and Kiri Te Kanawa's heavenly creamy voice. The combination of these musicians and recordings is a decision with great artistic sensibility. The layout is perfectly arranged -- from the waking up, playtime and to the bed. This is not just another CD juggles some pieces together from a brandy composer. For a more serious editing of baby music, this shall be something as a guideline.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite!, March 10, 2000

This review is from: Bach for Babies: Fun and Games for Budding Brains (Audio CD)

This cd is great! It starts your child's day calmly, gets progressively more active to suit baby's playtime, then winds back down again for naps and bedtime. It's my favorite lullaby - goodnight cd and a great baby shower and newborn gift. Try it - you won't be sorry!

This review is from: Bach for Babies: Fun and Games for Budding Brains (Audio CD)

I'm a student and I like to listen to classical music while I'm studying and this is great for that. It's lively enough not to put you asleep, but soft enough that it doens't distract from what you're studying. Plus, it's long enough that you don't have to get up to change the CD every 5 minutes.
