Customer Reviews

An Excellent Choice for Baby and Parents!
This is an excellent Mozart compilation CD. The selections are very relaxing, and my three week old baby loves nothing more than a walk around the house with "Mozart for Mothers-to-Be" playing in the background.

I greatly prefer this to the Baby Einstein products (e.g. "Baby Mozart"): the arrangements on this CD are much more complex (a bonus for parent and child, in my mind), the performances and sound quality are far superior, and the playing time is nearly twice as long (a much better value).

Baby seems to like it better the more loudly it plays (I think she enjoys the deep bass notes, but she's not saying!), but it works great at quiet volumes also.

I highly recommend it as a soothing, enjoyable CD for kids of all ages.

Calms your soul.....
Just had to take a moment to write this review. I bought this CD 9 months ago right before the due date of my first baby. Being a new mom and nervous and trying to do everything right, I played this CD the first week home from the hospital. It would totally calm both me and baby and we would rock and rock until he was asleep. I've always loved all kinds of music but having such a peaceful CD to listen to helped me gain my perspective and take a deep breath and just enjoy this new little one I had in my arms. Music does that to me but this CD has something extra special.

Buy this CD!!
We bought this CD to play as background music for our son when he was in the ICU, and now regularly give it as a new baby gift. I know that "Mozart for.." titles are suspect, but this is a lovely collection of fine renditions and it WORKS. Our youngest son is an absolute screamer in the car, but we pop this CD in and he's calm within five minutes. Moms who have received this from me as a gift report a similar effect on both the new baby and older siblings.
