This review is from: Story Of Berlioz In Words And Music (Audio CD)

This CD, as well as several others in this series, were recommended by the homeschool curriculum plan we are using. I'm very happy with these CDs. They are slightly old fashioned, but it is an easy way to introduce the biography of the composer and some of their music. We listen to them while we're driving around, and it makes good use of our driving time.

I bought quite a few in this series and have not listened to this one yet but the others I have heard were very good. My eight year old loves to listen to them with me. They give a bit of the musicians life then a song then more info then song..... I think they are good for kids and adults to give an interesting bit of history and music to hold the attention during both.
