Amazon.co.uk Review
Miaow! The novelty album is sinking its claws deep in the classical market. We all know cats are jazz-swinging aristocats, but according to
A Day in the Life of Leo, felines are hooked on classics too. So, for the moggie who has everything, including a copy of
Cats, comes this selection of 16 instantly recognisable classical melodies. The idea is a musical portrait of the daily routine of a pampered pet, the notes offering a brief, cute description to go with each piece. The connections are rather arbitrary--a Dvorák serenade for a catnap, a Shostakovich dance for a spider hunt and various bits of Handel's
Water Music and Vivaldi's
Four Seasons for a spot of ornithology and an incident with a fur ball. You may find your feline sleeps through the whole thing, the album providing more enjoyment for the owner who simply wants to relax with some undemanding classical moods after a day working like a dog. Speaking of which, if you have a canine, you may like to test their reaction to
A Day in the Life of Lucky: Classical Music for you and Your Dog. --
