Lullabies for a Small World

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The true test of whether a lullaby collection holds up happens mid-morning: If, after breakfast, the songs soothe and placate--if they insinuate themselves into a peaceful day instead of sending you face-first into the nearest lumpy pillow--it's a keeper. In more than a dozen releases, Ellipsis Arts has yet to fail this test, but Lullabies for a Small World scores particularly high. The world designation makes it a catch-all for the best compositions from previous records. The word "beautiful" rarely takes on so many qualifiers--the U.S.-derived "Lullaby for Erin" is achingly so, the Ukranian "Zavishu Ja Kolysochku" hauntingly, the Russian "Spyat Ustalie Egrushki" sweetly, and the French "Fais Dodo" is quaintly, quirkily beautiful. As with all Ellipsis products, a pop-up sleeve inside the case nestling the liner notes ups an already stunning presentation--few records will look prettier tied in ribbon. --Tammy La Gorce

5 out of 5 stars Great arrangements!.......2007-03-03

I bought this for son's bedtime 4 years ago and had no idea how much I would enjoy it! I am a musician and generally just tolerate most music marketed for kids. These Fred Molin CDs were quite the pleasant surprise. The arrangements are relaxing and very high quality. Not cheesy or too new-agey. Many real acoustic instrument performances, not all synthesized BS.

I look forward to getting this out around Thanksgiving as a break from the Disney Lullaby I and II CDs we put in year-round (these are also great). For what it's worth, there's nothing really "Disney" about the CD, must just be the label or producer.

5 out of 5 stars YES YES YES .......2006-01-12

This is a wonderful CD. I wasn't sure what to expect. I like Disney but wasn't sure what they were promoting here. Was Mickey going to talk?
None of that. All classical music in a very easy and soothing style. We have had a stressful past summer and fall due to 3 moves and adding a baby to the family.
All in 6 months. My now 2.5 year old one held up well but at night was just basically losing it. I finally digged this CD out and now when it is bedtime she lays there and listens calmly or talks softly and just is much more relaxed.
She now asks for the music after her bath and knowing that she is getting something educational as well as something that interests her makes me happy.I could listen to it all day long and frankly we are still listening to it after Christmas and most likley for a while longer.
It is perfect and draws you in right away.
I am not a musician but enjoy good music. This will not bore you but keep you in a happy spot, soothed and relaxed feeling.
Well worth the afford and money.
I may buy another one for my baby .
Enjoy this CD, all year round.

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS CD!.......2005-12-20

It's so soothing! I could listen to it all day. And I have 50 other Christmas cd's -- mostly instrumental! I listen to it in the kitchen when I'm working in there, and I listen to it on the computer when I'm working here! I borrowed if from our library, and now it's on my Christmas wish list! I will be buying it for myself if I don't get it as a gift! I would give it 8 stars if I could!

5 out of 5 stars Perfect For The Hard-To-Get-To-Sleep Infant or Child.......2003-12-18

I already have the Disney Lullaby Album(NOT to be confused with the Disney BABY Lullaby Album!) which I always thought of as THE perfect one, but this one is just as great!! Take it from someone who has been in the child care field for almost 23 years. I have tried them all, and found that this CD, plus the regular Disney Lullaby Album, are THE BEST on the market today! I know for a fact that any tired baby or child will immediatly calm down and fall asleep when this album is played, much much faster than with any other music. I even find if the day is a little on the stress-filled side, putting this on while feeding or playing with them becomes a nice and smooth experience! Trust me on this one, Disney's Christmas Lullaby Album is well worth the cost; for the nice music, and the peace it instills in the children, and you!

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic for babies & kids.......2007-02-01

We've had this album for a few years now, and it's been a staple during bed-time. The lullabies are amazing, each coming from a different part of the world and/or cultural background.

Even as an adult I enjoy listening to this album. It certainly doesn't have an annoying or childish feel to it; rather it's calming and sophisticated! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in bed-time music.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!.......2005-07-14

I don't know why this album hasn't been reviewed/isn't linked with other international lullaby collections. We received several as gifts for our first baby and this collection is by far our favorite. Not a clunker in the lot, unlike many collections. Each song is unique, but the compilation flows incredibly well.

Truly soothing, never trite or cloying.

An album an adult will enjoy listening to that will also do the trick to get your kid down.

Highly recommended!
