This is one of the most relaxing CD's I own, and Mozart's masterpieces never get old. These performances are also great. The piano sonatas and concertos reveal their full potential in the hands of Uchida, and The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields always delivers accurate and masterly renditions of Mozart's music. I only wish there was a choral piece or an aria in this collection. By the way, the Sinfonia Concertante's slow movement is one of Mozart's best, and this CD includes a very noble performance of this priceless treasure.

I used to work nightcrew in a grocery store. We weren't allowed to wear headphones. They said it was for "safety reasons" but I think it was because we wouldn't be able to hear the subliminal messages that they probably were piping in through the intercom system.

"You like working in a dead end job..."

"You enjoy selling your soul for peanuts..."

"You will put up with all kinds of nonsense and even ask for more..."

But even though we couldn't wear headphones, we could listen to the boombox. Now, I consider myself as having very excellent taste in music...a bit ecclectic as I listen to a variety of music...but my co-workers (or as I liked to call them, my fellow idiots) thought my taste in music was "lame". They couldn't understand jazz at all, R&B and soul music made their butts twitch, and New Age music made them want to shave their heads and visit India. So my musical choices were always being overridden by the other guys on crew.

One liked Country-Western music, another liked Speed Metal and the other like 'Gangsta' Rap. Now, you could imagine by the end of the night I had visions of a lonesome cowboy wearing clunky, gold "bling bling" who just got dumped suffocating his sweetheart in a sewer of existenial pain all while making up rhymes.

I was completely rattled.

But through the Grace of God, and someone who truly had me in their best interests at heart, I was given Mozart for Morning Meditations and as soon as I got home, I would put on my headphones and all the stress would leave my body, my mind, my heart, and my soul.

I could become completely calm in as little as ten minutes.

We are all composed of vibrational energy. Whether or not you believe this is so is beside the point. If you are full of frenetic, crazed, hostile energy, you will attract even more chaotic conditions. If you radiate a peaceful, loving, centered energy you will also attract these situations.

So every morning when I got home, I visualized my co-workers in bubbles of Light. I saw us all getting along. I saw myself leaving work feeling just as centered as when I came in, and y'know what happened? One of my co-workers found a new genre of music....

Speed-Country Western Metal Rap.

Oh, well, at least I had...and still have my Mozart Morning Meditations to listen to that put me in a place/a space of calm.

Here's hoping you vibrate nothing but Peace, Harmony, and Inner Certainty.

Peace & Blessings,

I bought this CD when I was pregnant, after reading how Mozart is supposed to aid babies' development. This CD is not only great for peaceful morning moods, but is also wonderful for new parents any time of day. My 2 month-old loves this CD, and it helps her relax and go to sleep faster. Unlike many "classical baby" albums, it does not become annoying to parents!

Turn up the volume about 6 seconds into the second track. Somebody sneezes! Otherwise, great CD.

This is a wonderful CD! It was the only one I had in my car for over a year, and the whole family loves it! You never get tired of this CD. It's also a good gift because the artwork is gorgeous.

It is classical music that isn't hyper.

This is a wonderfully relaxing compilation you can play in the background while reading, working, studying and it would've been even better if they took out that sneeze - yes, you can really hear it.

I bought this as a gift to replace a favorite, old, worn out CD of the same title. Having now heard it myself, I understand why it was her favorite and will most likely be buying another for myself and probably a couple spares, as they will surely be played frequently. Truly beautiful music!
