Music reviews of The Classical Kids Collection: Volume 2: Tales of Enchantment and Classical MusicMusic Review: Wonderful Rating: 5 StarsWe ordered this collection from a recommendation in "The Well-Trained Mind". As soon as we received it, my children wanted to listen to the CDs. We listened to "Song of the Unicorn" and we are all hooked! The story was beautiful and the balance of narration to music was perfect. Afterward, the kids wanted to listen to all of the CDs in the set. We ended up buying both Volume 1 and Volume 2 and I am so glad that I purchased both Volumes after hearing my children's delight.
I read the review regarding magic in the stories and so I was a little hesitant because we are not Harry Potter fans, however, since all classically trained students are introducted to myths and legends I decided to purchase the sets anyway. After listening to the "Song of the Unicorn" I did not find the story to be offensive. We enjoy The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings. I don't think that anyone who shares in the enjoyment of those types of stories will be offended by the stories on these CDs.
