Product Description
From Amazon.com
For the parent looking to ease their child into a familiarity with classical music, this is a very well chosen set of Beethoven works. It begins with a generous selection of airs composed late in the composer's life. The presence of the flute as the lead instrument on these selections has a soothing quality that moves the ear in an ideally subtle way, especially as it gives way to the more excited piano sonata pieces. Zoltán Kocsis's reading of "Pathétique" is followed by Claudio Arrau's take on the 7th, 15th, and 18th sonatas and Sviatoslav Richter's lyrical take on the 20th ("Pastoral"). Programmed amidst the piano pieces, which are great studies in dynamics and musical spacing, are some fine orchestral snippets, none longer than five minutes. The collection does a fine balancing act, condensing works that don't inherently lend themselves to shortened renditions and carefully managing moods, entry, and egress to each segment. This is fine anthology work. --Andrew Bartlett

the music is a mellow compilation of beethovens work, and when the baby doesn't sleep it helps the mother.

I put my ipod speakers to my belly when I was pregnant and when he was born I played the music in the room and I'm sure he recognised it - great buy

Beethoven loves babies review
Beethoven's music has made an audible impact on our lives. My son always listens to his music when it's on, it's quite calming music. I think this CD is good value.
