5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration for Everyone, August 19, 2001

By A Customer

I sent for this CD and thought it wouldn't amount to much because it is geared towards children. Well, through the years I have come to love such music as "Clair de Lune" by C. Debussy, The "Moonlight Sonata" by L.van Beethoven, the delightful "Minuate Waltz" by F.Chopin, "The Nutcracker Suite - Russian Dance" by P.I. Tchaikovsky, F.Chopin's "Grand Valse Brillante Waltz No.1 op.18,the happy "Chinese Dance" from the Nutacracker Suite by P.I. Tchaikovsky Including the "March" from the Nutacracker Suite. All of this I was thrilled to find on the CD. I never thought this could ever have happened. And the bonus is the rest of the selections of variation. This CD is called CLASSICAL MUSIC FOR CHILDREN.....Well, it's not just for children unless you want to say it is for the children in all of us. I am very pleased with this CD. The music is clear and not at all boreing like some CD's that play several selections one after the other each sounding like the one before it. Buy this and you won't be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars What fun!, May 19, 2002

By	"mamabird9" (Dayton, OH United States) - See all my reviews

A wonderful selection of classical music! I bought this one, then started searching for the other CD's in the series. My 6-year-old daughter LOVES it & I often play it when she's not home. (I even took it to work for a few weeks & my officemates all commented on the collection of songs -- there's something on here for everyone to enjoy!) This is the kind of classical music that makes you tap your foot & hum along -- it's familiar & fun -- a great collection of songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than baby einstein, February 25, 2006

By	Jeremy M. Starr "self-proclaimed genius" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great CD, with great music, at a great price. Everyone seems to love Baby Einstein, but I don't like the plinking music on those CD's, I like real orchestral pieces to stimulate my child. This is exactly what parents need, at a good price!
