Having bought several so-called 'lullaby' CDs and tapes, this is the absolute best. Mellow, smooth, rhythmic, it's good for stressed parents and the melodies even improve with familiarity!
As a plus point, you are introducing your child to classical composers and a quality performance - played from the heart with sleepy children in mind.
When our first child was born a friend bought this for us and it kept us calm during the early screaming stages. Five years later it is still our daughters favourite going to sleep tape and alot more acceptable to our ears than some of the alternatives! A great mix of composers and real singing cello tone.

5.0 out of 5 starsParent's blessing!2 Jan 2004
By Angela King - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I have two of these cd's. My kids are 2 and 4 and I bought the first cd when my daughter was a newborn. These have been a true blessing and most evenings, put ME to sleep along with my daughter as I'm getting her settled and to sleep. SOO soothing and relaxing.......just beautiful. The original cd had gotten a scratch on one song so I'm here on Amazon trying to buy yet another one. Great just to play when the kids are wound up just to sooth them.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Real Snooze...24 Oct 2002

This compilation of songs is most restful for both the young and old. I received this CD as a gift years before the birth of my daughter and I used it's calming effect while studying calculus.
While working in a daycare this CD had twenty 3-5 year old children fast asleep within minutes. Very cool!
I just purchased a new copy of this CD as the old one is scratched and worn out. I now look forward to sharing this soothing music with my newborn baby girl. ****I highly recommend this CD for putting your little one to sleep.****

5.0 out of 5 starsWONDERFUL - if only it was available18 Aug 2002

As a highly active amateur cellist, this is my signature baby gift to all friends and family - all have commented at it's soothing effect when played at naptime or bedtime. This is a wonderful collection, well-played - BUT IT'S NEVER AVAILABLE. I'm now on a constant search to find used copies. I can only hope that they get back on the ball and restart production on this CD - so that all of you can enjoy it!!
