5.0 out of 5 stars Based on the Price, You Can't Beat it., September 16, 2007

By	Edmund V. Faggioli - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Story of Mozart (Audio CD)

This short CD comfortably displays the basics of Mozart in words and music. If your a classical lover interested in these geniuses, and have a literary love also, then you would enjoy these nicely told stories.

I learned here that Mozart picked up his x-girlfriends sister after she cheated on him; Nice! What a stud.

I purchased CD's like this a year ahead of time to use them as time effective sources for English book reports in school because it takes a load off if you're over pressed and over worked. The narrator I found to be enjoyable also. For a couple bucks I really couldn't beat it.

4.0 out of 5 stars great introduction of classical music for kids, July 5, 2009

This review is from: The Story of Mozart (Audio CD)

We really do enjoy classical music as a homeschool family. We notice vivid imagination play in our kids when we play classical music at home.
