lullaby favorites: music for little people.......2007-06-27

My daughter is 7 years old and has listened to this CD every night since

she was 1. Our first CD finally wore out and we had to buy our second

copy. We love Tina Malia and her beautiful songs.

The Best Lullaby CD .......2007-06-17

I first bought this CD along with several others shortly after my daughter was born and it quickly became the favorite. My daughter is turning 5 in a couple of weeks and this is still the CD she and I want to listen to at bedtime. We still love all the songs after listing to nearly every night for 5 years!. The music is all acoustic with lovely soothing melodies, quite rhythms, and beautifully sung lyrics. I strongly recommend buying this CD if you are looking for high quality relaxing and gentle music to help your child drift off to sleep. I've lost count of how many times I bought this CD and am always glad to purchase more.

Better for mothers.......2007-06-10

I bought this CD for a friend who had just had a baby. I thought it would be to help the baby sleep...and maybe it does, but it helps my friend sleep better. She wouldn't be without it.

Lullaby favorites: Music for Little People.......2007-06-08

The lullabyes on this CD are performed in an extraordinary fashion, ranging from soothing melodies to stimulating interpretations with traces of jazz. When you need something to calm and relax you and your baby, these songs with their quiet meditative qualiy, will provide that for you. I highly recommend Tina Maia's Lullaby Favorites.

SIMPLY...BEAUTIFUL !.......2007-05-30

I really like it! The singer has such a beautiful voice & the music is excellent! I knew some of the lullabies on the CD, but when I heard them this time -from Tina Malia -they all sounded ... magical! (especially Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)

World Music for little ears.......2007-03-14

Baby shower gift .. parents love it .. arrived in new condition in a timley manner

Encourages Children to Sleep.......2006-01-19

Since they were newborns, part of our daughters' nighttime ritual has been a lullaby CD. This is one of the two CDs that our younger daughter listens to, and it's probably my favorite. It begins with a charming little song in Portuguese (I think the lyrics are about a father trying to get a baby to sleep; there are liner notes, but it's been a long time since I've read them). After that are over a dozen songs in a variety of languages, all perfect for getting a child to sleep, or putting an adult in a very mellow mood. Some of the English-language lullabies you find on other CDs tend to drive me nuts, but after hundreds of listenings, I still enjoy these. I think they're well-suited for older children, too, not just babies.

My baby wouldn't sleep without it.......2005-11-06

This album is beautiful. As a parent, it will be one of few moments when you will want to listen to the same thing as your young child. Our daughter's crib was in our room for a long time and all of us fell asleep to these wonderful lullabies. I was actually sad when she outgrew it. I just bought it as a shower gift for the third time. The first two recipients have loved it also.

great baby shower gift.......2005-06-10

We played this CD all the time when my son was younger, and still like to listen to it on long drives now that he is five. I've given this one and the Celtic Lullaby to several friends as baby shower gifts, and everyone has loved them! I definitely recommend this or any of the Ellipsis collection to anyone who wants to go beyond Disney and Sesame Street tunes with their kids.

Wonderful, sweet music.......2005-01-12

I am now purchasing my third copy of this cd as I love it and so do my children. The others are worn out and scratched from continuous playing and travel. The music is very sweet and gives the child great exposure to other languages (my children are growing up in a multi-language home) and gives them exposure to other languages and dialects of Spanish. I highly recommend this cd to all other parents and child care providers.

Customer Reviews:

this CD could make your kid a rap star.......2005-03-08

If you want to turn your child off classical music forever, this CD may well do the job.
It has absolutely nothing to recommend on it.
# 1, the volume fluctuates, and like ads on TV, the worst tracks are usually the loudest.
# 2, many of the tracks are badly performed; ponderous, scratchy, and amateurish takes on what should be good listening, but isn't.
# 3, there are 4 vocals. WARNING to all mothers: Baby might think this awful voice is you singing to him/her, and cause deep feelings of resentment, needing years of psychiatry to unravel.

I am a huge believer in the importance and value in what we feed our ears. Many worry about the effects of 2nd hand smoke, I preach about the dangers of 2nd hand boom-box, and the horrors and negativity of rap music. Few things are more important than what your baby listens to, whether verbal or musical, and there are many "Adagio" recordings that are expertly performed on the market that would be a pleasure for baby's ears, an education for his mind, and a joy for his soul; this CD is to be avoided at all cost. Total playing time is 50'29 dreadful minutes.

Could've been a 5-star if not for the heinous tracks.......2004-10-03

I'm bobbing my head up and down with the other reviewers about the obnoxious non-lullaby tracks thrown in on this CD. After burning a new CD and leaving those tracks off, the CD is great and one of my favorites.

Not too happy.......2004-03-11

I purchased this CD under the impression that it was all instrumental music - WRONG! Interspersed with rather lovely renditions of classical favorites -- perfect for bringing a baby to sleepyland -- are painfully perky upbeat vocal variations on a few traditional lullabies that have a tendancy to jar a baby awake! Rather antithetical to the purpose.

this sux chizzle dawgs.......2004-03-06

this g-unit cd is off da hook

i give it 3 starz

oh classic music sux bach

Beware of the obnoxious tracks!.......2004-03-02

I saw this CD and thought it would be great for my daughter whom I like to expose to as much wonderful music as possible, particularly at bedtime. The first night I played it, I stayed in her room and listened to the first 2 songs - they were charming versions of some well-known classics. Then, I turned on the baby monitor and went into the other room.

Suddenly, my ears were accosted by the most obnoxious, laughable sound of track 3. It is a synthesized, incredibly upbeat version of Hush A Bye Baby sung by a woman with the most grating voice. The same can be said of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Frere Jacque (tracks 6 & 11). Besides being irritating, these songs are actually LOUDER than the rest of the instrumental songs and could easily jolt a sleeping baby out of slumber.
