5.0 out of 5 stars TUNE YOUR BRAIN: PREGNANCY & CHILDBIRTH, September 29, 2001

By	Kristin Kirk (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This is an incredibly relaxing and tranquil album not only for pregnancy and childbirth but for anyone with an ear for classical music. The pieces are soothing and moving, and the varied selections make for a placid work that calms and relaxes. Plus, it puts the little one right to sleep!

5.0 out of 5 stars proud father to be, January 1, 2004

By	Chateau Margaux "winemaker" (Bordeaux) - See all my reviews

I found this cd after my wife gave birth to our first child unfortunately. Now my wife is expecting our second child. I am a big believer in classical music for unborn babies, delivery rooms, all the way to kindergarten. My four year old daughter hears 'twinkle twinkle little star' anywhere and she about faces instantly! Pachelbel's Canon is another personal favorite. I respect anything Deutsche Grammophon puts their endorsement on, too. Highly recommended for pregnancy stress reduction, labor jitters, and little toddlers.
