What Baby Einstein gets better than anybody else in the crowded baby brain-booster category is how to make classical music sound appropriately infantile. "Re-orchestrating" is their term for the technique that so effectively replaces the vague mustiness of Mozart's powdery wig with fresh whiffs of Johnson & Johnson, and no doubt it causes a dust-up among classical-connoisseur parents, but for the rest of us it works brilliantly, this latest installment included. Galileo takes its inspiration from the moon and stars, thus its two-suite split: In "The Day Sky," Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky trot out cloudless symphonies and serenades, "Sleeping Beauty" among them, and "Night Sky" shines a light on Chopin, Strauss, Brahms, Debussy, and Dvorak for twinkly interpretations of "Claire de Lune," "Moonlight," and others. The masters may not be represented at their purest here, but they'll never reach purer ears. --Tammy La Gorce

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 soothing. I definitely recommend the CD's for the car.

brilliant
This was the first dvd/cd my son listened to (..and watched we bought both) the music is just GREAT for babies. I also recommend the DVD. The colors and stars/planets just captivates them. This dvd/cd will always have a spot in our hearts because of the way our son responded to it. My wife hears the piano piece Clar De lune from the dvd and cries...tears of joy.

Baby loves this music!
Puts our 6-week old daughter to sleep... what more could you ask for!
