 this CD could make your kid a rap star March 8, 2005
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
If you want to turn your child off classical music forever, this CD may well do the job.
It has absolutely nothing to recommend on it.
# 1, the volume fluctuates, and like ads on TV, the worst tracks are usually the loudest.
# 2, many of the tracks are badly performed; ponderous, scratchy, and amateurish takes on what should be good listening, but isn't.
# 3, there are 4 vocals. WARNING to all mothers: Baby might think this awful voice is you singing to him/her, and cause deep feelings of resentment, needing years of psychiatry to unravel.
I am a huge believer in the importance and value in what we feed our ears. Many worry about the effects of 2nd hand smoke, I preach about the dangers of 2nd hand boom-box, and the horrors and negativity of rap music. Few things are more important than what your baby listens to, whether verbal or musical, and there are many "Adagio" recordings that are expertly performed on the market that would be a pleasure for baby's ears, an education for his mind, and a joy for his soul; this CD is to be avoided at all cost. Total playing time is 50'29 dreadful minutes.
 Could've been a 5-star if not for the heinous tracks October 3, 2004

I'm bobbing my head up and down with the other reviewers about the obnoxious non-lullaby tracks thrown in on this CD. After burning a new CD and leaving those tracks off, the CD is great and one of my favorites.
 Not too happy March 11, 2004

I purchased this CD under the impression that it was all instrumental music - WRONG! Interspersed with rather lovely renditions of classical favorites -- perfect for bringing a baby to sleepyland -- are painfully perky upbeat vocal variations on a few traditional lullabies that have a tendancy to jar a baby awake! Rather antithetical to the purpose.

I saw this CD and thought it would be great for my daughter whom I like to expose to as much wonderful music as possible, particularly at bedtime. The first night I played it, I stayed in her room and listened to the first 2 songs - they were charming versions of some well-known classics. Then, I turned on the baby monitor and went into the other room. Suddenly, my ears were accosted by the most obnoxious, laughable sound of track 3. It is a synthesized, incredibly upbeat version of Hush A Bye Baby sung by a woman with the most grating voice. The same can be said of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Frere Jacque (tracks 6 & 11). Besides being irritating, these songs are actually LOUDER than the rest of the instrumental songs and could easily jolt a sleeping baby out of slumber. Those 3 tracks completely undermine the "Lullaby" theme. I will be burning this CD onto another CD and leaving out those 3 tracks. Had I read the reviews and seen that others had complained about these same tracks, I never would have bought it. This CD defies logic and you will be better off without it!
