Customer Review: We always play this cd during the evening routine, just right before the baby's falling asleep and he really likes it. The light tunes are really efficient for this purpose. It is a mixture of songs from the big classics like Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, Debussy. Worth the money!
Customer Review: What a rare treat to hear such a wonderful voice! The music transcends the various languages( Latin, Italian, French, Spanish and almost no English) and communicates directly, beyond intellect, deeper to sooth the soul. This we expect from Opera and Religious selections such as Pucinni's "Nessun... more info
Customer Review: This CD compilation lives up to its titled billing: it IS the most relaxing classical music in the universe! A caveat, however: consider the source of this opinion. My classical music background derives from a single music appreciation class at LSU-Baton Rouge in 1972--in which I made a B. (A bunch... more info

Customer Review: I knew we would want this after hearing Volume 1. I don't think my daughter has heard more than the first 4 songs, since she generally falls asleep by then. Glad it is so pleasant for us to listen to as well!
Customer Review: ... this is THE ONE! Like several of the other reviewers of this magnificent recording, I originally bought it as an LP and literally wore it out. It has been used to greet Christmas morning in my home ever since. The first cut, "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," NEVER FAILS to make me a bit leaky... more info
Customer Review: If you are looking for a soothing, beautiful collection of well-known classical music, this is the one. This purchse was for a gift to my sister, who heard my album and "Had to have it."
Customer Review: If you a piano student, your teacher will probably assign you at least half of the compositions in this CD. You need to hear how they should be played. This is a wonderful CD to use to help you learn the pieces. These piano selections are not the "World's Favorites" for nothing - they are memorable... more info
