Baby Einstein: Traveling Melodies

Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ...

Buena Vista, 2005

Saved My Sanity
My husband and I are musicians so I inwardly groaned when we were given this CD as a gift--I'd rather play the originals rather than some synthesized kiddie version. However, on a recent road trip we got desperate when our colicky son would not stop screaming. We ...

Decca, 2008

Strauss: Don Juan; Eine Alpensinfonie [Hybrid SACD]

Richard Strauss, Mariss Jansons, ...

Rco Live Holland, 2008

Stunning playing and sonics carry the day
Now that the Alpine Sym. has come into its own and one can forget the decades when it was derided as the brontosaurus among Strauss's tone poems, we have a wealth of choice. No work shows off an orchestra's virtuosity as thrillingly -- not even Ein Heldenleben - and so ...

Sacred Treasures: Choral Masterworks From Russia

Anonymous, Dimitry Bortnyansky, ...

Hearts of Space, 1998

Inner beauty
The sense of beauty emerge within us as these chorals fill the space of our head and heart. A music written by real masters and interpreted by voices rarely heard. Beautiful.

Baby Neptune

Buena Vista, 2003

LOVE this Cd
Great music and soothing sounds for any babies and even older children. Our children really enjoy them in the car.

Round-Up

Elmer Bernstein, Bruce Broughton, ...

Telarc, 1990

Great American Music
I remember listening to this when it was on cassette tape many years ago. My dad would play it over and over again in the car whenever we would go on long road trips. So I'm glad that it's available for an MP3 download now; I've been listening to it in my iPod in the ...

Switched-On Boxed Set

Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, ...

East Side Digital, 1999

Admit it, they're good!
I remember back in the late sixties the original LP of "Switched on Bach" started showing up in record stores and causing quite a storm. Of course, being the proper musical snob and "purist" I was, I discounted them as being nothing better sounding than "tuned rubber ...

Baby Galileo

Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ...

Buena Vista, 2003

Baby Galileo Review
I love all of the Baby Einstein DVD's, so the music CD has been just as good as the DVD's. I play it all the time when my son is in the car and it seems to calm him and keep his attention. I even listen to it in the car when my son is not with me. It is relaxing and ...

Shostakovich/Tchaikovsky: Piano Trios

Peter Kiesewetter, Recorded Sound, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1999

3 strong personalties, united here
This recording, taken from two live performances in Japan, is unusual, but breathtaking. And contrary to what one reviewer on the review page said, this is not the first time the 3 have played together. It was the year before this present recording was made, in '97 in ...

Berg: Lulu Suite; Drei Orchesterstücke
Alban Berg, Recorded Sound, ...

Rco Live Holland, 2008

Vocalise: Russian Romances

Mischa Maisky, Anton Arensky, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

The Cello Sings in Place of the Human Voice
Cellist Mischa Maisky and his pianist collaborator Pavel Gililov continue their exploration of the cello as vocalist with these stunningly cello/piano transcriptions of Russian works for voice and piano. Maisky's tone and technique are often described as 'singing' in ...

Mahler: Symphony No. 6

Gustav Mahler, Recorded Sound, ...

Archiv Produktion, 2005

Please do not feed the romantics...
Romanticism pervades classical music. When the lives of composers go bad, people often look to their works for "signs" of tragedy, or proof that the music arose out of suffering or foreboding. Mozart's early death and Beethoven's deafness supply heaping doses of ...

Music and Nature Sampler

Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, ...

Spj Music, 1994

Peaceful & Soothing
Sounds of Music and Nature Sampler is a very nice CD to put on when your children are going to bed, need to be calmed or even when the adult of the house needs to be calmed. For the price, this CD is worth every penny.

Baby Vivaldi

Recorded Sound, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

Buena Vista, 2002

Very versatile Toddler music
Smarter Toddler Daycare NYC plays this CD during naptime and lunchtime and interestingly enough this CD works extremely well for both of those very different activities so it is very versatile. Since Smarter Toddler has a pretty varied music program they have most of ...
