Customer Reviews:

Babies LOVE Bach.......2005-11-22

My twin daughters listened to this album in the womb, they were born with this album playing in the background and now I play it for them regularly in the car. Timeless beautiful music that every child deserves to hear.

Beautiful, soothing music- this is the one to buy!.......2002-08-24

My son LOVES this CD- we've played it to him every night since he was in the womb and it always soothes him when he's fussy. We've purchased a number of other "baby classical music CD's" that have ranged in quality from decent to awful, but this one is absolutely sublime. It has a beautiful selection of the original arrangements- not some watered-down, re-arranged baby versions.

The Babies Love Bach!.......2000-08-01

I am employed as a teacher in a daycare facility and work with children from the ages of 1-2 years of age. I purchased this CD to play when the children are going down for their daily naps after lunch. They absolutely adore the beautiful music contained on this CD...and so do I. After they have all fallen asleep I straighten up the room and prepare for the afternoon while being soothed myself by the wonderful melodies from Bach. Every one a gem! I highly recommend this CD to anyone who needs to unwind and let go of some of the stress built up during a long day. Play it for the babies and play it for yourselves as well.

Everyone Needs Bach!.......2000-03-10

Forget the baby picture on the cover and the title; this is superb music by Bach, the Great One. Beautiful performances, outstanding sound, and sublime music, what more could you want? (well, ok, better liner notes would be a good start.) Anyways, our baby has this played nightly to him but I don't know whether he or the grownup enjoys it more! Spend a few bucks, add some great music to the life of your family and kids, and encourage a lifetime appreciation of music!

Good for baby or good for profits?.......1999-10-05

I promised myself I would never again review these compilations in which pieces of this and that longer composition are pulled out of context and rearranged under some pretext as "A Night in Spain" or "Beethoven Goes to the Movies" or this latest "scientific" discovery that peaceful music is good for babies. Peaceful music is good for everybody, for heaven's sake; and the only reason I am writing this is because I am playing the Delos CD and it put me into a good mood.

Any decent classical collection will doubtless have all these pieces in their proper places; but if you are giving a candlelight supper and want some very nice background music, this CD is a wonderful source of same.

But getting to the point, I shudder to think of wee ones growing up bombarded by ear-splitting rock or salsa or rap and of what it does to their growing nervous systems (the adults are probably beyond all hope by this time). Perhaps Bach and Mozart and the other composers who will appear in this "Baby Needs..." series will not make them any smarter, but it certainly will not fry their cerbral cortexes before they can walk.

Customer Reviews:

Great.......2006-02-15

This music is great for both kids and adults. It is much nicer then the baby Einstein version. It is great to listen to and I often play it during my son's nap time.

This is great for baby...and good for mom and dad, too!.......1998-12-10

This selection of Mozart's music is sure to be pleasing to baby whether in or out of the womb. This CD delivers some beautiful peices that are performed at a level that can be appreciated by parents as well as little ones. Do not, however, limit your personal collection of Mozart to this CD. There are many other works and performances to be explored!

Classical music for children has become a genre unto itself, founded on the premise of brain-power building and all too often steering parental buyers away from the full-blown versions of particular compositions toward reorchestrated renditions. It's frequently the case that a brain-tickling classical set will be played on digital keyboards, with softened tonal colors and shapes. Not so with this excellent Beethoven set. Recognized ensembles take up the music, from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center to the New York Chamber Symphony to the Oxford String Quartet and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. The emphasis is on Beethoven's gentler side, from the poetic "Für Elise" for solo piano to the bucolic settings portrayed in the two selections from Beethoven's Symphony No. 6. This is neither a synapse-popping set of virtuoso performances nor an altered look at Beethoven, but it is a well-selected, well-programmed set of works that will ease a child's brain into the works at hand. --Andrew Bartlett

Beautiful Music, Beautiful Renditions.......2003-12-14

This is lovely, soothing music suitable for babies or tired adults! I began listening to it and other "Baby Needs" CD's (the Guitar compilation is wonderful too) before my daughter was born, and have continued to play it for her ever since. Even Classical music purists shouldn't object to hearing just portions of major works-- the compensation is having a complete collection of calm, peaceful music. Highly recommended.

Soothing Music for Baby.......2000-11-05

This is a delightful collection of Beethoven's most soothing, melodic pieces. It is good for background music or for quieting a fussy or tired baby. I highly recommend it.

Poetic but not appealing.......2001-06-05

All the Baroque four mighty -- Bach,Handel,Vivaldi and Telemann--are here to be played. The collections are poetic picks in terms of compositions. However, given these big 4 all in once, one can get a lots of liberty on picking the pieces and performance. And this particular packed are not something appealing. Nice to the eyes, but plain to the ears. May be a nice CD for claming baby's mood or for baby's bed time. Not a good idea for baby's playing time.
