4 out of 5 stars Majors for Minors - Classical Music Nursery Rhymes.......2002-04-27

I come from a classical music background and wish to congratulate the producers of this CD. For the first time ever, to my knowledge, here is a CD that's incredibly straightforward and extremely simple - perfect material for babies and young children. By no means a classical music masterpiece but the entire easiness and simplicity is perfect to ease any child into a positive state of mind as it does with my baby and toddler. For the Bambino's, I say this is a cut above Mozart. ( Give 4 stars)

5 out of 5 stars Majors for Minors- classical music nursery rhymes.......2002-04-25

...My wife and I have used the Majors for Minors series for the last three years, we have two small children and can only praise the positive results our children have had from these CD'S.

I can only assume that G Spanos is a music academic and authority on classical music, however from what I know of the research that went into this series the mucis is purely a classical interpretation and the success is actually created by sound frequencies and specfic patterns which the producers have used.

The fact that the product uses digital instruments as opposed to authentic instruments from what I understand has no bearing on how this product works.

I admit as a lover of classical music myself that there is far supeior available, however as a product designed to calm and assist with active and passive situations during a childs daily life - there is nothing better in the market (from what we know of) and we have used many other products designed for this purpose wthout success!

My knowldege of Majors for Minors workings is probably better than most average person, due to the fact that when I was in the UK on business, I read an article in a London newspaper which gave detail on how the produsers of this product went about their research and they admitted that their compilations such as the nursery rhymes and the lullabies would sound rather monotonous to the average adult, however the effect on children under three is excellent.

We challenge G Spanos or any parent with young children to use this product and not experience the incredible benefits to their children as my wife and I have found. In fact we would go as far as saying that the principles of this product should try and do alot more to make Majors for Minors more known to the rest of the world.

4 out of 5 stars Classical Music Nursery Rhymes.......2002-04-19

I bought this CD for my 5th child, who has special needs when he was 5yrs old. I had struggled with 5yrs of disturbed nights; frequently up for 2hr stretches. I would play it in the sitting room whilst cuddling/rocking my son. I would concentrate my mind on the music, rocking patting, walking in time with the beat, until he slept. Because my son frequently needs attention during the night he sleeps in our room, and for the last year or so whenever he wakes at night I play this music softly, it does not disturb my husband and it gives me a focus on which to concentrate instead of mulling over the day ahead or worrying about matters. It has been our nightly friend and companion. Please send us your comments about Majors for Minors.

1 out of 5 stars AVOID THIS CD.......2002-03-11

DO NOT BUY THIS CD !! This cd purports to be Classical Music Nursery Rhymes. It is nursery rhyme melodies, but completely homogenized pablum. It is not classical, it is synthesizers - the worst kind of muzak versions, with the melodies practically hidden away in the synthesized "new age" (in the worst sense of the word) background/easy listening, mellow accompaniments. It might be ok for putting kids to sleep, but I can think of much better music to do that, that is real music. If you are looking for real versions of nursery rhyme melodies, this is NOT the cd to buy.

5 out of 5 stars An Authentic Delight for Both Young and Old.......2000-01-11

It is amazing how Saydisc could put together 52 nursery rhymes in one CD. No detail has been overlooked. The selection strictly includes those nursery rhymes recognised by everyone as traditional. The pieces are organised according to some categories rather than to their age, which is in most cases uncertain. Nonetheless Mr. Barlow -director and arranger- has ensured that each piece is accompanied by the suitable instruments, according to their age. All this shows extensive research, which is also noticeable in the accompanying booklet, where the listener can take a look at the lyrics together with to-the-point information on both tunes and words. General information is also provided in the 'Introduction' where some reference books are mentioned which the reader is referred to for further information and analysis. The arrangements are lovely, keeping faithful to the original tunes. The fully digital recording technology is a plus and makes it a pleasure to listen to. Singers are superb. They show the full mood of the rhymes. I believe anyone who likes nursery rhymes will agree with me that there is no waste in this selction and that it perspires quality all through.
