Summary: 5 Stars
My 10 month old daughter loves this video and Amazon got it to me in two days! Excellent.Movie Review: Not Baby Mozart, but still keeps our baby entertained
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll agree with many of the reviews here that this doesn't approach the magic that was achieved on Baby Mozart. It does not grab our daughter's attention, nor hold our daughter's attention, quite like Baby Mozart does.That said, it is still a nice video and does offer a nice alternative to Baby Mozart. Our girl can get a bit bored with it, look down and begin playing with something, and then have a certain scene pop up that she enjoys and she'll be drawn back to watching it for a short period.
Some folks have complained a bit about Julie Aigner-Clark putting her kids in the video. Well, to be honest, I actually like them in it. I think most babies enjoy looking at other babies and children, and whenever they pop on the screen, my girl tends to drop what she is doing and watch them. So I can forgive Aigner-Clark's seeming indulgence. Hey, these videos are for your baby, not you, and babies don't care whose kids are in the video...they like watching them!
The other features of the DVD are nothing special. My guess is they are rarely used (though I did do the reading feature with my 9-month old the other day, and she was somewhat transfixed with the images even if she is clueless about the words being said).
I'd recommend the DVD as it has continuous play capability. No need to suffer through that pesky VHS re-wind!
Movie Review: Is Bach "enchanting"? Prelude to "Kenny G Plays Bach."
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't seen "Baby Mozart" and decided to preview this one before giving it to my granddaughter. If this one deserves the criticism of some other reviewers, the Mozart video must indeed be terrific. The arresting images made me think I was watching in HD/Blue Ray yet, despite the visual enhancement, they're all familiar objects, toys, and child faces that should grab the little spectator's attention. The music, too, is "enhanced," and therein lies a potential problem. Why must all of Bach's music--piano, organ, orchestral, choral--be played on a soft and echoey synthesizer? It's all quite enchanting, but how often is Bach, of all composers, ever described as "enchanting"?
I like the repeated use of Minuet in G, since that's the piece kids taking Suzuki or conventional lessons are likely to play after Twinkle Little Star. But if Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" is considered suitable for innocent young ears, Bach deserves to have producers less bent on covering up his authentic authoritative voice.
