Classical music has been scientifically proven to encourage cognitive development in young children. Baby Beethoven, a 29-minute Baby Einstein production, presents excerpts from five of the composer's most famous symphonies--as well as incidental music--in a child-friendly, sensory-rich format. Familiar Beethoven themes like the "Ode to Joy" from his Ninth Symphony are playfully rendered on electric piano and accompanied by colorful images of toys in action, puppetry, and babies at play. The musical excerpts are relatively short and the imagery is quick-paced and varied enough to grab the limited attention span of viewers age 1 to 36 months. Unlike previous Baby Einstein presentations, each symphonic excerpt (though not the incidental music) is labelled--a feature that encourages further exploration of favorite pieces. Baby Beethoven is an aural and visual feast that promotes creativity, mental awareness and an appreciation for classical music in infants, toddlers, and their parents. --Tami Horiuchi

Early on in babies' development, they begin to recognize primary colors. And all the while, they're also processing an infinite variety of new sights and sounds. Think of the joy you'll experience as you introduce your little one to beautiful music and imagery with Baby Beethoven - Symphony of Fun. Featuring timeless works by one of the world's greatest composers, this exciting musical journey exposes infants to classical music while presenting them with vibrant, baby-friendly images.

Developed with babies in mind, this stimulating celebration of some of Ludwig van Beethoven's most popular compositions will provide an enchanting opportunity for you and your little one to watch, listen and make new discoveries together.

brilliant! 15 Feb 2005
Format:DVD
This DVD is brilliant!

the never ending changing of toys, characters, children, babies, lights on the screen keep my 10 month old son mesmorised! He loves dogs and squeels himself silly when he sees the dog puppet on the screen!

great for bunging on the TV when you want an extra 20 mins in bed, and is hopefully doing his brain a bit more good than the songs on the tweenies!

Format:DVD
My little baby boy loved the bright images in this from a very young age (about 4 weeks old). I wouldn't think it is for the older baby though, he likes it as background sound now (14 months) as he is used to the tunes and even says ba ba ba ba when one of Beethoven's symphonies begins but he doesn't pay much attention to the images any more. He used to watch it all the way through, laying on the bed each morning. It gave me the chance to get a wash and do my hair!

Format:DVD
I bought this video on the recommendation of a friend - and my baby son just loves it. He has watched it almost every day since he was about 2 1/2 months old and never seems to get bored - he is completely captivated by it. It gives me a reliable 29 minutes to do vital tasks elsewhere without feeling that he is being neglected! Personally I was a bit disappointed with the "plinky plonky" style of the music but perhaps the makers of this video know more than I about what appeals to babies! I would definitely recommend it (although I'm aware that not all babies take to it).
