Summary: Disappointing as compared to their Baby Mozart Video
Review: I was disappointed in this video. It really pales in comparison to their Baby Mozart video, which is very good. Given that this video was produced after Mozart, I expected improved production values. Instead, they were worse! This video isn't terrible, but maybe was just rushed to market to capitalize on the enthusiasm for their Mozart video. As others have noted, the frequent shots of the producers' daughters are just too much. However, the Baby Mozart video is better and worth purchasing.

Summary: not quite Baby Mozart, but a strong #2
Review: Baby Bach - the third installation in the Baby Einstein Company's series is almost as good as the original, Baby Mozart. My 7-month-old watches this almost as intently as she does #1 - Baby Mozart... which is still much better than other companies' video "board-book" or video "mobile" products. All in all, Ms. Aigner-Clark's innovation is quite remarkable - stimulating music and visuals to distract and aid in child development. I give all of my friends the Baby Einstein Library (which includes the videos Baby Mozart, Baby Bach and Baby Einstein) for shower and baby gifts - and I receive raving 'thank yous.' These videos can be life-savers when Mom or Dad need a couple of minutes of quiet to themselves or to devote to other children. I am still surprised by shrieks of delight from my daughter at some of the visuals. My four-star rating has only yo do with my own lesser's opinion of this video's visuals and one particularly annoying laugh-track AS COMPARED TO Baby Mozart (which I rate at five-stars). My daughter would probably give them both five++.

Summary: We love it!
Review: We (my daughter, husband and myself) love this video. We purchased it when our daughter was 2 months old and she loves it every time we put it on for her. We prefer Bach to Baby Mozart and Baby Einstein. Our daughter smiles when she hears the creator's voice come on in the beginning of the video and the smile stays on her face until the very end! We can't say enough good things about this video!

Summary: This is a thoroughly nauseating video
Review: It's only for people who have perfect little faces, live in perfect homes, with children who look like the children of movie stars, and think, as Julie Aigner-Clark seems to, that the sheer perfection of your existence lends itself to happy viewing by others. In watching this, first of all, my baby was bored, and so was I, but I was struck immediately by how this appears to be a showcase for a woman who, HAD to have been prom queen in high school and probably only went to college to meet her husband, and her apparently perfect, beautiful, children. All I could think of was that I was teaching my daughter how to feel inadequate compared to the popular girls (just in case she isn't one of them) from a very early age, because their mommy put them in a video and hers didn't. We have both videos from Baby Genius and we love them. They are never boring for either of us. We also have the Brainy Baby tapes which are supposedly only available at therightstart.com. Those are good too, except that if you really want your child's right brain exercised, you'll be disappointed by the right brain tape because they miss the mark by labeling everything. Still, they are far more interesting to watch than these are. I can only see someone actually liking Baby Bach if it were the only baby video they owned, and there was nothing to which to compare it. It's so exciting to be able to put the baby down while you do something for yourself for a little while, that you're likely to get excited about anything that acheives that. If you want a real education for the baby, move past this. I'm reading reviews of her other tapes, and they seem better, but frankly, I'm too turned off of this to even try.

Summary: Very disappointing -- save your money
Review: Baby Bach was a severe disappointment. Unlike their Baby Mozart video, which is lively and really holds our daughter's interest, this video is slow paced and not of much interest to our daughter. Also, the constant shots of the producer's daughters are highly annoying and should have been saved for their personal home videos. What ego!

Summary: If Daddy/Mommy can play Bach, then baby will love it
Review: Daddy is a professional guitar player. He can play Bach on his guitar, but not Mozart - at least he doesn't try, and I haven't found a Fingerpicking Mozart book for him. Anyway, our son loves this video more than Mozart and Einstein - probably because he recognizes the Minuet in G and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring selections that his Daddy plays to him on the guitar. As for the creator's daughters appearing in this video more than the others, well our son loves those parts. He laughs and shrieks with joy when he see them. He also talks to them - he started doing this as soon as he could make noises. He is a bit of a flirt... If the creator had a son, I'm pretty sure you would see him on her videos. Our son also seems to prefer the visuals in this one, at least he watches them more. I guess the images are more of a psychadelic nature - they are mesmerizing, which suits him just fine. It's also one of the few videos he doesn't fall asleep on, Einstein knocks him out every time.

Summary: The best item I have ever purchased for my son.
Review: The "Baby Bach" video was given to my son as agift. He is 2 years old and was adopted internationally. I cannotexpress how much he loves these videos (after the success we had withthe first, I have since purchased them all) He watches at least one a day. They have been a great teaching tool for us to help develop his language. The videos are fun and relaxing. I have to admit I even enjoy watching them with my son.

Summary: Disappointed with Baby Bach!
Review: My son who loves Baby Mozart cries non stop through Baby Bach. Having been a follow-up to Baby Mozart, I expected a higher quality video. Instead, the video is little more then a home movie of the producer's children. If children are to be included, please include girls AND boys - broaden the scope!

Summary: 6 Month Old Loves This (and Other "Einstein" Videos)
Review: We started with Baby Mozart, which absolutely mesmerized our 6-month old son, and promptly bought Baby Bach, Baby Einstein and Baby Shakespeare. I'd say Baby Einstein holds his interest a little less than the others (it's more talk than music), but he really seems to enjoy them all. Some people seem not to like Baby Bach as much as the others, but our son is no less enthusiastic about it than the others -- in our opinion, it's just as well made and the toys are just as interesting (plus, we like Bach!) I don't believe in parking my child in front of the TV, but it is so helpful to be able to put him in his high chair, start this video, then be able to go prepare his dinner, throw a load of laundry in, take a shower -- whatever -- and know that he'll be perfectly content for the next half hour, with the added bonus that it's stimulating, educational and acquaints him with some great music at an early age. I commend the woman who came up with the idea for, and created, these videos and wish I'd thought of it myself.

Summary: STIMULATING
Review: My Son (now 2) has watched this video for 1 year now. He must watch this video 4-6 times a week. I enjoy watching his reactions to the video - He dances to the music, names the objects, he gets so excited. I highly recommend this video.
