I'm a BIG believer in playing classical music to enhance brain development! I did it for my first born and now for my second...This is a great mix of different composers. I put it on at bedtime on random and it plays all night. Some songs are really soft, while others get loud, so finding the right volume level can be tricky (for night time playing). Great Music for Great Price...

I purchased this CD for my grandson, and after hearing it, I had to have one for myself. What a great collection of the masters, and I never grow tired of hearing the same songs over and over again. "Smart Symphonies" re-introduced me to the classics that I grew up with and love. You can't go wrong with this CD, but before you buy, make sure that the cover is the same. There are other "Smart Symphonies" CDs out there but they are different.

I played this disc daily for my firstborn (on constant repeat) throughout the day for close to two years. Today, at age eleven, he is an amazing pianist, mathematician and student. I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but I hold this repertoire near and dear to my heart. My original disc became scratched and I moved on from it for many years. I recently did a search to find a copy. Listening to it again brought back so many great memories. Four children later, we ALL love listening to this disc!

This CD is fantastic from beginning to end...Excellent condition, just as described, Seller was great, price was very reasonable and item shipped very quickly....would definitely reccommend. Thank you!!
