 Best baby classical tunes for your buck!Mar 03, 1999
By akda@aol.com
This is one of the longest running CD's in the collection of classical music for babies. Others contain music running half the time of this one. For the most part, the music is upbeat - I'd recommend it for "awake time." Entertaining for all ages and will be a favorite even after baby is grown. I listen to it while still pregnant and enjoy it over all others I've bought.

 DisappointingFeb 07, 2002
By Merrilee Mcmurray
"mrsmootz"
Although the CD covers a lot of Beethoven's music, the piano player in the first seven tracks is horrible. He or she keeps hitting the wrong notes. The tempo of the music overall is too fast and for some reason, they stopped "Ode to Joy" right in the middle. If you want a CD that features excellent musicians and Beethoven's music played the way it should be, don't buy this CD. Invest in the soundtrack from the movie, "Immortal Beloved".

Buy this CD for the lovely music, but not for babys brainDec 07, 1999
By Buddy
There is lovely music on this CD. It's too bad that they had to package it under the pretense that it is somehow going to make your baby smarter. If this music helps you relax or creates a feeling of enjoyment then it is worth owning. The so called "Mozart Effect" collapses under scrutiny. Repeated efforts have been unable to reproduce most of it's effects. The ones that were reproduced only lasted for about 15 minutes after hearing the music. It was NEVER shown to have any effect what so ever on babies, it was tested on college students. If you are buying this CD to make your baby smarter I suggest buying a book and reading to them. If you are buying this CD to expose your baby to the rich culture of music, by all means....enjoy!

Brainless Beethoven devaluationFeb 18, 2000
By James LeMay
What do you get when you play brilliant music through a bad synthesizer? Buy this CD and find out. Your little prodigy's intellect will be engulfed in an annoying stream of cheap rinky-tink pianos, tooting synth-horns, and fake accordions. This is a cheap and annoying version of a great composer's work. Your young Einstein would be better off with a cheap harmonica.

Nicest classical music CD I've found for my baby (& me)Nov 23, 2003
This is a very pleasant CD to listen to, and I think the quality of the music is excellent. I enjoy listening to this with my 10 month old son, and we also listen to the radio and lots of modern music. I recently purchased 5 of the classical "Baby Einstein" CDs and I consider them to be inferior to this Beethoven for Babies CD. The Baby Einstein are very synthesized sounding and I think they are annoyingly mellow and kind of dopey. This Beethoven CD is beautiful. In fact I'm going to buy 1 or 2 more from this series.
