Music reviews of Baby Sleep

Music Review: Lovely
Rating: 5 Stars

I purchased this for my daughter because it includes the Brahms' lullaby at the very end. When I first sang this lullaby to her when she was two and a half, she cried. I asked, "Why are you crying?" She said, "Because it's so pretty." We were in the guest bedroom on the second floor of her grandparents' house in Portland, a little bungalow in Northeast, the night before the Portland Marathon. The next morning, looking out the window, I said, "You can see the tree tops!" and she said, "But where is the Rockabye Baby?" So, when I bought this CD for her third birthday, we were pleasantly surprised by all the other selections as well - the sweetest pieces from a very wide time scale, from Bach to Elgar and Satie. I am particularly fond of the 4th track, "Dream Children", by Elgar, as well as the Prelude in C by Bach, which here is played on a harp. On the whole it is a very calming CD and is nice for going to sleep or grading my 7th grader's science work.

Description of Baby Sleep

I think this music is intended for adults, though the photo on the cover is of a sleeping baby. In any event, Schumann's work, Scenes From Childhood, Op. 15, featured here is more likely to bolt you out of bed than put you to sleep, as the mike is far too close to the piano being played by Cyprien Katsaris. Purcell's Adagio from The Indian Queen is magnificent, performed by John Elliott Gardiner and the English Baroque Soloists. The Weird Award goes to triple harpist Tim Hobrough and lutenist Stephen Barber for their bizarre, spiky rendition of Minuets Nos. 4 and 5 from the Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach. I would like to meet Bill Holland, producer of all these Atlantic Records classical compilations. He's programmed Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1 on three different CDs, billed alternately as sensuous, romantic, and now here: good for a long snooze. --Gwendolyn Freed
