The Famous Composers Series (Lovely Baby Music presents)
Named "2006 CD of the Year" by Creative Child Magazine --Creative Child Magazine2007 Parents' Choice Award Winner -  Raimond Lap employs the timeless music of the masters (Bach, Beethoven and Mozart) while introducing the delightful vocalization of babies, their laughter and their uniquely distinctive and honest reactions-whether to the music itself or something else entirely, the mix in ingenious. Adding sound effects of water and birdcalls seems so perfectly appropriate for children from infants to three years. Certainly, sounds of water are calming for babies as they must be accustomed to hearing the sounds of water in the womb. Coupled with birdcalls, these two distinctive sounds seem to touch on the familiar and the resoundingly new sounds a baby will hear. Additionally, the use of synthesizer is completely suitable for children in this age bracket as their auditory sense is still developing and music manipulated in this way may provide a more delicate introduction to timbres. --Parents' Choice FoundationAward-winning Dutch composer, Raimond Lap, believes that listening to great classical music helps to stimulate babies brains and aids in their musical and intellectual development. This series features 10 musical compositions from each of three great composers: Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. Each piece is flawlessly performed using one or more musical instruments as well as sounds from a baby, nature, birds, and toys. A treat for babies and parents. --School Library Journal - March, 2007
