Researchers have demonstrated what's known by every parent: infants love music. In the first year, a baby's brain develops faster than at any other time, and sound and music play significant roles in a newborn's intellectual and emotional development.
As a follow up to the two great collections Build Your Baby's Brain Through the Power of Music (SK 60815) and Build Your Baby's Brain Through the Power of Mozart (SK 61721), we now offer three new selections that are also programmed to stimulate the mind and, after repeated listenings, will ultimately give your little one an advantage in this fast-paced and competitive society. If listening to Mozart's music makes people smarter, or at least makes them perform astonishingly better on an intelligence test, then the music of Bach, Beethoven and the Baroque will propel them to even higher levels of creativity, performance and optimal health.
What better place to start a lifelong relationship with classical music than with the immortal Ludwig van Beethoven? Everyone knows his name, if not perhaps the wide variety of his music. Its emotional range and intellectual substance make it eternally delightful, though rewarding from all sorts of perspectives and in all sorts of moods. This collection is designed for enjoyment by the whole family. You'll find both animated and calm, soothing pieces, peppered with moments of sheer fun -- all designed to fill your baby's day with music! From the famous opening bars of the "Pastoral" Symphony, a work that depicts a day in the country, to the heavenly harmonies of the "Pathétique" Sonata, the graceful bagatelle "Für Elise", and the exciting Overture to Fidelio, this great collection features performances by legendary Beethoven interpreters Eugene Ormandy, Michael Tilson Thomas, Glenn Gould, Andre Watts, Sir Colin Davis, Rudolf Serkin and others.
What they're saying about Build Your Baby's Brain:
"I heard this CD while babysitting one day and I fell in love with it! I have always been a fan of Mozart, but there are so many selections when I go to buy CD's that I could not get the exact match of the compositions that I liked. This is a great CD for anyone."
-- A music fan from Bellevue, WA, April 1999
