CD Reviews

My baby loves this CD!

itsjustme | USA | 11/04/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Of all the many CDs we were given, this is my baby's favorite. Unlike most CDs of classical music for babies, this isn't just smooth, soft music. It does have some of that, but it also has more exciting pieces like the bouncy Nutcracker music, The Flight of the Bumble Bee, and The Sabre Dance. My baby bounces and dances to this music happily. And once she's a bit older, I'm sure she's going to love "Peter the Wolf," narrated by Jack Lemmon."

A Reasonable Collection

Jason Holtzapple | Phoenix, AZ USA | 08/11/2004

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is a reasonable selection of works to start with as a child's introduction to Classical music. There are two main flaws - a handful of the pieces are performed rather poorly and the sound quality is muffled. But keeping the intended audience in mind and the price, it's not a bad value."

My 3 yr old loves it!

"This is one of my three year old's top requests for listening. She simply loves it; She hums along and can name most of the songs. I am vey pleased."
