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

Love it!
Baby Mozart 2 is a great addition to my collection of classical music CDs for my baby. We love it! I highly recommend it.

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 ...

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 ...

Halloween

Chip Davis, J.S. Bach, ...

American Gramaphone, 2003

manheims steamroller halloween
I loved it, made Halloween more enjoyable,I look forward to using it again next year.

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 ...

Sacred Treasures: Choral Masterworks From Russia

Anonymous, Dimitry Stepanovich 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.

Switched-On Boxed Set

Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, ...

East Side Digital, 1999

A few thoughts on the SOBoxed....
I just happened upon this set of reviews on Amazon (although I had reviewed the original SOB separately years ago), and was delighted at the multitude of very favorable reviews by others. But then came the weeds amongst the fruit, namely those few reviews by people who ...

Decca, 2008

meditation/relaxation tpae

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 ...

Jussi Björling Rediscovered

Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, ...

RCA, 2003

Magnificent
Some years ago I met an elderly gentleman who'd served as a co-pilot on a B-24 bomber during WWII. During a raid on a North German site their aircraft was badly damaged and they were forced to crash-land it in Sweden. The shaken but uninjured crew was picked up by the ...

Early Music (Lachrymae Antiquae)

Jack Body, John Cage, ...

Nonesuch, 1997

one of their best
If you like simple, string quartet music as much as I do, then you've got to listen to this. It is a generous 68 minutes of plaintive music--no discontinuities and surpises like on their Black Angels recording. It is all slow and mournful.

Mahler: Symphony No.7

Gustav Mahler, Claudio Abbado, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Sustained beauty and energy, moving on deliberately and purposefully ...
While I have some favorite recordings of this symphony - I think of (quite different) performances from Michael Tilson Thomas [2005 (live) as well as his quite different approach from 1997], Bernard Haitink [1981 & 1985 (live)], Simon Rattle [1991 (live)], Eliahu Inbal ...

Russian Chant for Vespers

Anonymous, Russian Orthodox Chant, ...

Naxos, 1995

Perfection
This was my first introduction to Novospassky monastery choir - at least this looks like the same record I have, though artists aren't mentioned. Anyway, it was love at first hearing. I also sent a record to a friend in US and he fell for it, too. This is powerful ...
