Everything about this CD, from its eye-popping cool packaging to its beautiful booklet, is wonderful, perhaps peerless. It's a study that spans 16 countries, catching paeans to childhood sleep from varied traditions. The set traverses the Cape Breton Gaelic tradition with the Rankin Family, Haiti with pop stars Boukman Eksperyans, and the African continent with music from Tonga, Algeria, and Cameroon. Despite their distances from each other, at times the songs sound quite alike. Voices might begin alone but then gather into choral size, with a reliance on wordless passages to emphasize the flow of time as sleep encroaches. In execution, the surprises are many. Algerian Houria Aïchi sounds East Indian; the Traditional Japanese Music Ensemble of New York sounds poised somewhere between a stately concert of historical court music and a touching homage to childhood; and German singer Michelle sounds pop-music ready even as she toes the line on singing a sleep-triggering song. Beyond being a great collection of international music, this is probably the most interesting mix available of cultural voices approaching the issue of children sleeping. --Andrew Bartlett

disappointing.......2007-06-10

I purchased this CD in conjunction with another CD with lullabies for a friend who had just had a baby. She said the music is fine but it's got an audio portion that is totally useless for her. She said she's not been able to get the CD to play just the music w/out the video portion.

Love it!.......2007-05-12

I love this CD and so does my daughter. I have been putting her to sleep with this CD since the day she was born (she is now 10 mths old). I have bought this CD for a few friends of mine and they also love it. Great buy.

wonderful compilation of world lullabies.......2007-01-10

It's a wonderful compilation of world lullabies. It's good all over the world - doesn't matter if your baby is from Mars or Paris, Amazon or New York, it definitely works!

If you only get one lullabye cd, this should be it.......2007-01-04

We have over a dozen lullabye cds, and this is the only one we have worn out from constant use, and are replacing for baby #2. My daughter got hooked from the first track, Chi Mi Na Mór-Bheanna. As soon as it would come on, she would calm down and focus, and the other tracks would lull her to sleep. When we made the mistake of forgetting it at home on a road trip, I had to sing it to get her to stop crying (still learning the gaelic words to that!). It is a brilliant, well-compiled, album of tracks you won't find elsewhere (and which won't bore you, the parent). I have given it over and over as a baby present; it is tried and true. An earlier reviewer commented that the tracks were jarring; we don't find them to be, but then again, we don't like "new age" music (i.e., Wyndam Hill) because we find it too monotonous, so it is a question of musical tastes. Just an added note: the version featured of the classic French lullabye featured, Fais do-do, is truly lovely.

so-so sounds.......2006-08-03

This CD is okay, but has a number of high-pitched, almost whiny songs that aren't very soothing. It wasn't what I was expecting out of a lullaby CD.

classic.......2007-07-05

Bought this as an lp when it was out. Fantastic that it's on cd. Follows Julio through the majority of his European hits. You can't help but feel as though you are somewhere in the sun when it's playing. I believe that they are all originals with Un Canto A Galicia (his 1972 Number 1 hit in Holland ,21 weeks) and Quereme Mucho, (his 1979 Number 1 hit) amongst the many great songs. Light years before he was popular in uk. You don't have to understand the language to appreciate the songs. If you want an album by Julio, get this one. You won't be disappointed.

The Absolute Best Compilation Of Julio's Great Ballads!.......2005-06-21

"We do not remember days, we remember moments." So said Cesare Pavese, Italian novelist and poet. We all have had glorious "golden moments" in our lives, and poignant memories of these times return occasionally, consciously and in dreams. Sometimes the lyrics and melody of a song can bring back a flood of remembrances. The voice of Julio Iglesias, singing the ballads he made famous, especially from the 1970s, invariably brings to mind a world gone by, and people, very dear, who are now lost to me - but not to my inner world. Which brings me to the album, "Julio Iglesias: The 24 Greatest Songs."

Yes, I am an eternal romantic. And Julio Iglesias is the all-time master of the romance ballad. Few other vocalists can communicate the intensity of love, its joys, melancholy and suffering as well as he does, (and everyone who loves, suffers, at least a little). Some men are turned off by all the schmaltz. But women, worldwide, love Iglesias and his repertoire. I lived for many years in Mexico and Latin America - some of my best years, in fact, and listening to these 2 wonderful CDs brings back, to my mind's eye & ear, the faces and voices of people so special to me; moments spent in the tropical sunshine and others in the crisp mountain air of the Andes; and, of course, starlit nights, romance and friendship also. I remember laughing and crying with my girlfriends to these very same songs - comparing notes about the capriciousness of love. The first time I listened to "33 Anos," (33 Years), I was 33 years-old...and felt as if I were rapidly moving toward middle age, as does Julio in the song. Many years later, now, I have to laugh!

Originally released in 1978, the 2 CD compilation was re-released in 1998. Although the lyrics in many of the 24 songs are exceptionally beautiful, one does not have to speak Spanish to appreciate the quality of Sr. Iglesias' warm velvety voice or the romantic orchestral backup. Are these his 24 greatest songs? Disc 1 is absolutely on target. There's not a single cut that should be omitted, although I wish I could have added some. The music and lyrics of the nostalgic "Me Olvide De Vivir," and the exquisitely tender love song "A Flor De Piel," are favorites. The raw emotion in "Abrazame," and "Por Un Poco de Tu Amor" could bring forth tears from a stone. Disc 2 is more upbeat, and although many of the cuts are excellent, I could eliminate some tracks easily. I love the Mexican classic, "Cu-Cu-Rru-Cu-Cu Paloma," the dramatic "Candilejas," and the beautiful "Jurame, and "Caminito" are highlights. I have never been a fan of "Manuela," although it doesn't bother me to listen to it. However, "Un Dia Tu, Un Dia Yo" is an awful song, and I could do without "Quiereme" also.

Make no mistake though, this is probably the best collection ever of Julio Iglesias' great ballads and it is definitely a 5 Star album. I am being picky, that's all. I want all 24 songs to be superb - but my taste is not everyone's, and what pleases me most might not do the same for others. "Julio Iglesias: The 24 Greatest Songs" is a truly great album. I highly recommend it.
JANA

Awasome!.......1998-08-25

Wonderful romantic languages i.e. Castlillean, Galician, etc. all mixed with a profound Spanish/Latin feeling that only Julio can express.

Product Description

Children have a natural ability to learn multiple languages easily. Studies show that from birth to age 12, a child's brain is open to assimilate and retain other languages. With repeat exposure to another language, your child's mental develpment will be enriched and carry over into all aspects of learning. This entire CD has been sung only in Spanish to immerse the child fully in the language. This method has been proven to be the most effective way to teach secondary languages. Nursery rhyme songs are a perfect way to introduce or continue developing another language in a familiar setting. Children will recognize the tunes and be able to make a connection with what they are singing. The tempo of these songs has been slowed down slightly so that the words are easy for children to hear and articulate themselves, in order to sing along. Written lyrics have also been included. Childhood development is extremely important! Adding additional languages in a fun, musical environment will only increases a child's capacity for knowledge.

Customer Reviews:

Distinct enunciation makes each word understandable.......2007-05-25

The absence of a lot of instruments makes the words on this CD very EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I already knew the English words to the songs ("Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," etc.) Because the singer pronounced each word very clearly, I quickly learned Spanish vocabulary while driving in my car.

Entertaining & educational for the little ones..........2007-03-13

The simplicity of the accompaniment and the familiarity of the songs to the English speaker facilitates understanding of the Spanish lyrics. The artist has a nice voice and the words are individually enunciated making it easy to sing along. My children enjoy this CD and it is fun to see them picking up another language through music!!

Very So-so.......2007-01-22

I really wanted and fully expected to love this CD. Unfortunately it sounds like it was recorded in someone's living room using a Casio for musical accompaniment. The woman has a nice singing voice and I appreciate that the songs have been slightly slowed to allow non-Spanish speakers more time to process the Spanish sounds, however overall I think of this as an amateur product.

We love this CD!.......2006-12-23

We are English speaking parents of a 10 month old but we want our little one to learn Spanish. We play this CD for her all the time and we all love it. We also have the same songs in English and have played that one for her since birth, so all the sounds are familar to her. The songs are well sung and the tunes are all familar to any American English speaker. This is a great way to start introducing the little one to Spanish in a fun way!

FORMIDABLE!.......2006-02-09

As a mother trying to teach my 3 year-old son Spanish, I enjoy this CD greatly, the songs are already familiar to the kids, and their learning capacity, even on a foreign language, is trully impressive, but most of all, my son loves it!

Great Music!.......2007-04-25

I purchased this CD to accompany Laura Dyer's book "Look Who's Talking." The music is beautiful, the lyrics are very fun and my daughter absolutely loves listening to it every day.

Jennifer Smith.......2007-02-23

The songs are wonderfully written, but the vocalist is terrible. Her shrill, whiney voice ruins the songs and makes it very difficult to understand what she's saying - which is the whole point of the CD! i would not recommend this - sorry!

"This product utilizes the latest brain research techniques and offers opportunities for interactive and cross-over techniques throughout the entire CD. I really enjoy using it in my workshops and children's story hours." Lisa Hoover, Educational Consultant and Children's Librarian

Little Language.......2002-04-12

Some parents worry if a child is slow to show language recognition or skills. These books and the music teach how to encourage your baby to make early sounds, even before words are expected. The concept she describes is easy to learn and will give any baby a fast track to language skills. Alan Caruba, Bookviews.com

"Mark and Laura Dyer have come up with a 20 song collection of speech enhancing musical selections for infants and toddlers. This is a great way for moms, dads, and kids to have some good quality time for learning and having fun. Laura Dyer, a speech-language pathologist with a master's degree in communication disorders, provides a helpful guidebook on how to utilize each song as an educational device.

Who said musical comedy was dead? Was it you? Fools! There are more shining moments in each of these 39 zippy little numbers than in the complete score of any bloated Broadway dud today. Peppered with original dialogue, and seven renditions of "The Simpsons Main Title Theme" (including Australian, Big Band, and Afro-Cuban), this disc includes beloved originals like "Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?" Even better are the scathing parodies: "Oh, Streetcar!" (Tennessee Williams à la community musical theater); "Dr. Zaius" (Falco-meets-Planet of the Apes); and "See My Vest" (Monty Burns's jaunty dissection of Disney's "Be Our Guest"). With celebrity cameos from Tony Bennett, Robert Goulet, and Beverly D'Angelo, Songs is a sparkling tonic to sustain you through the seven dreary days between Sunday evenings. --Kurt B. Reighley

Every other reviewer here has said it all: in a nutshell, this is a really fun recording and a must-have for any Simpsons fan. I just wanted to comment that every time I listen to this album I am always amazed at the incredibly lavish production value. The orchestra is as sweet as a film score, which lends a lot of weight to the characters and their various story lines. The music really draws you in and makes you care about the characters. As a musical enthusiast and amateur musician, it makes my soul happy.

This has got to be one of my faveroite Simpsons CDs I own.
Packed with Simpsons goodness on every single track. You'll find yourself singing along to these catchy, yet hilarious tunes from the show. Being a Simpsons fan for almost my whole life, I know every tune and melody. If you're a Simpsons superfan, this CD is for you.

4 1/2 Springfield, You Rock! .......2005-03-15

Until I heard this CD, I never fully appreciated how much music was in "The Simpsons." Sure, I knew the theme songs, and was aware of guest appearances by The Who, The Red Hot Chile Peppers, and many other bands, and I know that Danny Elfmann and ALf Clausen are exceptional composers who excel in many other venues. Over the years, however, the show has produced a number of memorable songs, many of them satirizing some of the most popular (and often unctious) chestnuts of recent American music.

Krusty's "Send in the Clowns" is a prime example of the importance and the sheer quality of the songs in the show. Like the best musicals, they advance the plot, jive with with the show's themes and characters, and are musically memorable and lyrically hilarious. Some of the songs are played semi-straight (Lurleen's country songs) while others extend the subversive, on-target humor of one of TV's most brilliant shows. (As the co-owner of the creature who actually won the "animal who most resembles a Simpson contest," receiving a Matt Groening autographed poster as a prize, I am one of millions of experts on the show and a longtime fan.)

I agree with the reviewer who said there were a just a few too many reworkings of the Simpson theme songs on the CD (although many of these are of unquestionable worth), the CD, replete with both music and samplings of dialogue is a tribute to the show, a true bargain box set, and a must for any Simpsons or musical comedy fan. Springfield, you RAWK!

the simpsons are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-02-14

my favorite tv show,you must buy this cd,there are so many songs,
if you like the simpsons you will recognize all the songs,and if you don't like them you will get fun with the lirycs

If you're a fan, you probably know all the words..........2003-09-10

While "The Simpsons Sing The Blues" seemed to be a quicky cash-in job to make somemore money off of Simpsons-maina, "Songs in the Key of Springfield" delivers the goods. The snappy writing and lovable characters can be enjoyed over and over again in you CD player. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the show.

I am native spanish and this CD is the closest to the music I've had when I was little. Music is soft with no annoying voices. My 4 month old baby loves it already. Many of the songs are fun to dance with and in others you can signal with your hands while singing. Highly recommended.

Great CD and fun to listen too for parents...and baby!.......2006-12-23

We have a 10 month old and we can only speak English to her. To introduce her to the Spanish language we got this CD of music and the whole family loves it, including the little one. We all love dancing around the living room while its playing. Its also has 5 or 6 spoken parts to expose the baby to the spoken word. Also, its been a great CD to put her to sleep with because to songs are so soft an pleasing. You can't go wrong with this one!

Excellent sound quality, diversity of voices/songs.......2006-05-27

As a non-native Spanish speaker trying to expose our daughter to as much Spanish as possible (my husband only speaks English to her), this is a perfect CD with easily understood (i.e. not too fast, nor too many voices singing at once) and fun music in Spanish. The music quality is great and diversity of people singing (women, men, children) is broader than other CD's I've heard. Also, there are quite a few tracks!

Good musicians and creative arrangements.......2005-11-28

It can be hard to find children's music in Spanish that parents can also enjoy, but this is it. These performers sing well and have put together some delightful arrangments of old standards as well as some new songs. My Spanish-speaking kids (ages 4 and 1) love it and always get up to dance during their favorites.

I can't believe this is guy can play.......2007-07-07

I have seen my fair share of Seagal movies- good & bad- but I can't believe this guy can play guitar. This CD is a broad mix of music all centering around guitar & this guy has the chops. You can tell he grew up listening to blues. Highly recommended for Seagal fans.

Surprisingly good.......2007-02-12

Wow, he actually does it. The full blues sound, crisp guitar and a great voice. We want more of this, maybe Steven should consider just to focus on music...

Nice ~.......2007-01-31

Cool y muy romantico, con ansias en amores enflamada. Algunas veces un poco desafinidao. Pero, me gusta mucho.

James N. Powell

No Amor.......2006-11-04

It probably is my taste, but I got the CD based on what someone else said, and the person and I must have far different tastes. I thought she was mediocre at best. Not the fault of Amazon, of course. My fault.

Great music...beautiful singer with a so-so voice.......2006-07-19

Unfortunately, Arielle Dombasle doesn't quite have the voice to pull this off. I like her selection of songs, and her accompaniment is exquisite. She even does a good job some of the time. It's those other times, when she's flat, that really detract from your listening pleasure. The good moments outnumber the bad, or I would pan her altogether.

"Rhum and Coca-Cola" and "Whispering" are my two winners for this album. The vocals needed to be honed (or fixed with "studio magic") before some of these were released to the public. I got the feeling that Dombasle was trying to channel Edith Piaf at times, but she's no Edith Piaf.

The Kronos Quartet have been luminaries of modern Western classical music for more than thirty years. So despite their previous forays into world music, a headlong dive into the alternative universe of Bollywood (Bombay-plus-Hollywood) soundtracks may seem somewhat incongruous. But Kronos leader David Harrington is a longtime fan of composer R.D. Burman¹s florid pop extravaganzas, which propelled an already saturated palette into day-glo and beyond. To get the project off the ground, he had to convince one of India¹s prolific and versatile "playback" singers to come on board. The legendary Asha Bhosle is a renowned Burman interpreter so securing her services was a major coup. To replicate the reverb-laden "wall of sound" typical of Burman arrangements, Kronos and Ashaji, accompanied by Indian percussionist Zakir Hussain and Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man, overdubbed themselves into a teeming multitude. However, there is nothing soulless or "canned" about the results; indeed, composer and singer emerge refreshed and more vivid than ever before, shaking their stuff amid swirling Technicolor veils of tongue-in-cheek mystery and sensuality. --Christina Roden

Album Description

Sumptuous and surreal, the Kronos Quartet and Asha Bhosle's You've Stolen My Heart is not unlike the colorful, melodramatic Indian film musicals to which it pays tribute. Eight of its twelve tracks feature superstar Bollywood film playback singer Asha Bhosle, widely considered the world's most recorded vocalist. The songs were chosen from the repertoire of her husband, the late composer R.D. Burman, who revolutionized the sound of the movies produced at Mumbai's (formerly Bombay) fabled studios, a.k.a. Bollywood.

Warning: this CD is addictive.......2007-01-12

Now in her early 60s, Asha Bhosle's voice has matured since the heyday of her Bollywood career in the 60s-70s and in these reworkings of some of her greatest hits (written by her late husband R.K.Burman) it's positively honey-like. The collaboration with Kronos Quartet is inspired: substitute electronically enhanced violins for Duane Eddy guitars and you have an inkling of the ideas flying around the disc. The liner notes are informative and there's plenty of information for the Bollywood novice. However, whether you understand Hindi or not, this is a collection of songs - humorous, romantic, tacky, and at times so hilariously naff in the way of Indian homages to western pop it's actually cool! I would be amazed if you don't want to keep going back to it, once heard.

Clever, but...........2006-04-07

Chronos has always emphasized being clever over being musical- although they are splendid musicians- and this album is perhaps the ultimate exegesis of that. The actual music is perhaps exotic, to western ears, but it is also uninteresting. Indian film music combines the sound of the East with the banality of pop, and the result isn't anything that bears more than one listening; personally, I was continually reminded of the incidental Indian-themed music that kept popping up in the Beatles' movie "Help", although that soundtrack was a bit more clever. Another volume for the library of the die-hard Chronos fan, perhaps, but not necessarily anyone alse.

Bhosle, Pavrotti, Sinatra.......2006-02-12

Some vocalists are one-of-a-kind, brilliant and beautiful, setting the standard for their particular music. Asha Bhosle is one of them. I heard her with the Kronos in performance in San Francisco, and they took my breath away. This album isn't quite the same as being there but it's very, very close. Asha, Kronos - please do it again!

Cheap music.......2006-01-02

I dont know how the kronos quartet to come down so low. The music is cheap. I couldn't hear any of the tracks completely. They were so insipid.Complete waste of money. I have heard much better from Asha.

I Think They Should Have Selected a More Contemporary Singer.......2005-11-05

I love Asha Bhosle and one only has to listen to her Live at the Albert Hall album. Problem is, she has aged, and her voice shows it. Regrettably, her vocals on this album constantly remind me of this and I can't listen to the album with pleasure. I would say the same of such wonderful singers as June Carter and Amalia Mendoza. This was a wonderful opportunity to introduce much of the world to the zaniness of Bollywood movie music, with its fabulous arrangements and wacky use of all imaginable instruments from all over the world. Instead it makes me sad to hear Asha not at her peak.
