Too beautiful for words(but I'll give it my best shot), "Fairy Dreams - Magical Lullabies" is a soft, and soothing mix of traditonal folk lullabies, with a special added touch of warmth by Linda Ronstadt. It is music that will lull anybody into a beautiful state of relaxation, and would be a beautiful bonding experience for any parent and child. Just sit back in that rocker, hold your child in your lap and let this album work it's magical spell on you.

Opening with the instumental "Winter Light", Ronstadt's mesmerizing collaboration with esteemed composer Zbigniew Preisner("Three Colors Trilogy/The Decalogue"),you are already transfixed.New and wonderfullly sweet renditions of "Hush Little Baby","Moon and Me","All The World Is Sleeping","Dream a Beautiful Dream" and "Sleep Baby Sleep" are just a few of the songs that will stay with you for sometime afterwards.(See buying info for a complete list of songs, where you may also listen to some samples).You may even stay up and listen again long after the little ones are fast asleep.

This sweet collection of lullabies would be a welcome and unique gift for any new parents,children, or baby-sitting grandparents. One that will give hours of pleasure to all who listen to it.You may even fall in love with it even if there are no wee ones about.I did!

The CD(Big Blue Dog Records) is an excellent quality and delivers beautiful sound(and not a bad price either).There are 12 tracks in all ranging in time from 1:19 to 4:23, most being over 3 minutes.

"I Bid You Goodnight".....enjoy...Laurie

I do like most of the music on this CD - but the quality is terrible. I got no insert with the CD's. . . If I had not read the first review here, I would not even know who was singing and I don't know who is performing on the classical selections. Isn't it illegal not to give credit to the performers? Also, track 7 on disk 1 is not recorded and skipped over, also track 8. Could I have gotten a defective disk????

We played this album during nap time at childcare, and I never tired of hearing it. The kids were all asleep by the time it got to the end.

These are lovely lullabies and will be wonderful for my grandson. The CD arrived within a couple of days.

This is one of the few lullaby albums that the whole family likes. Even my father in law finds this one tolerable. Voices are consistent throughout and there are no child singers-- a big plus for me.
