My daughter has really enjoyed this. She listens to it as she goes to sleep some nights. When we encounter some of these pieces in other settings, she is anxious to share what she knows about them from the cd!

My kids love this. We've listed to it over and over again!

Wonderful! The narrative is gentle and informative. We have spent several hours listening while doing crafts and other relaxing projects. I particularly appreciated the narrative that goes along with Carnival of the Animals, a piece we were unfamiliar with before. I do wish that it had a detailed play list on the package, so we could hop right to some of our favorites without having to keep pushing skip to find our place. But this complaint is minor, because we will soon have the pieces fixed in our minds from listening to them so often. (PS the Carnival of the Animals piece also highlights the talents of some very talented younger musicians, which is a great motivator for your little ones to get involved in music.)
