Summary: Smashing!
Review: My 6 month old daughter watched Baby Mozart VHS first and sat through the entire video (about 30 minutes)! A couple of days later I played this DVD which is almost double the length, she again watched the whole thing attentatively. Since the dvd is easier to play, we have been playing it at least a couple of time a day and everytime she quietly watches it, rubbing her little feet in satisfaction. Further, she watches it all by herself on her bouncer seat, or sitting on sofa, giving us plenty of time to ourselves - since she loves us to hold her these days.

I tried to play others like the ballet Swan Lake, thinking the beautiful classical music along with ballet would do the same trick. Boy was I wrong! I guess that's why these Baby Einstein titles are no ordinary products, they simply catch baby's attention easily.

Get these titles, they are well worth the money and they'll last a long time.

Summary: works like a miracle with fussy babies
Review: This DVD is absolutely wonderful! It is one of the only things that will quiet my fussy baby. It is truly a lifesaver, as it occupies him so that I can get work done at home. He watches the DVD for the entire 30 minutes straight! Not even children's shows on TV will hold his attention like that. Contrary to some of the other reviews, I find the video very entertaining and even comical in parts ! The images are perfect for babies, and the music is well orchestrated for little ones, yet entertaining enough for adult ears. If you buy the DVD version, you don't have to listen to any of the advertisements that the reviewers complained about after buying the VHS version. I would definitely recommend this DVD for anyone who has a baby. We will be buying more Baby Einstein products in the future.

Summary: love at the first scene....
Review: I let my son start watching this when he was only 2 months old. He loved it. Now that he is 11 months old, he is glued to the screen from start to finish. There is only one channel he is allowed to watch on tv, and he would much rather watch a baby einstein dvd - this one in particular!
I didn't think that he would be interested when I screened it for him, but that goes to show how little we know when we first start out! This is definately worth every penny!

Summary: wonderful content, but poor sound quality
Review: my son *loves* the baby einstein series. baby mozart is one of the few things that will get him to sit still for more than five minutes, and he gets a big smile on his face when he hears just the intro to the tapes. there were a couple things that really disappointed me about this tape. first, the advertising for all of the tapes in the series comes before any of the actual content, so each time you pop the tape in, you need to actually fast forward past the "our purpose is for parents to have fun with their children" section showing off all of the products. i didn't mind it being at the end of the tape, and we've actually watched through the advertisement on the baby mozart tape a couple of times. second, the sound quality was *horrible*, at least on the copy of the vhs tape that we purchased. (and this is not something that i usually notice.) a lot of the recorded music was very static-y.

at the same time, the content was adorable and the music is something that, if the quality of the recording would be better, i wouldn't mind sitting through hundreds of times (as i have with the "baby mozart" tape). lots of cute little toys moving around to fit the music with colors that my son loves to look at. the puppet show sections of the tape are well done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Her favorite out of the Baby Einstein collection
Review: It's hard to explain why some of these are a hit and some aren't. It could really depend on the individual baby. My daughters two favorites are Baby Beethoven and also the Numbers Nursery. She likes Mozart and Bach too but this one puts a serious smile on her face. Maybe she just really likes Beethoven!!!! I will say that she absolutely hates the Neptune video. Who knows why?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holds my baby's attention
Review: My baby boy loves this DVD. He will watch it all the way through!! This is great, it gives me time to get stuff done. This is an absolute must have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fun for all ages
Review: All my children love this video, from my seven-year-old down to my 5-month-old. The music is fun sounding. It is not exactly traditional instead the creator of the videos has embellished each symphony and Fur Elise to sound more "play-timey." Still, my older two children are able to identify the music when they hear it on the radio as being a piece from the video.

My husband and I like it because it is not filled with "dribble." Most children's videos are mostly talking and can, in many instances, be downright dumb to the adult mind. We are not as easily annoyed with these videos as we are with, say, Bob the Builder or Thomas the Tank Engine.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FANTASTIC!
Review: My 19 month old LOVES this Baby Einstein DVD, and has loved it since I got it for him when he was about a year old. He loves the music especially! A MUST HAVE! Works like a charm when my son is having a bad day!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gives Mommy Free time
Review: Wonderful Product!!! I can't say enough about these DVD's. My Daughter has been watching these since she was 6 weeks old. Now at 9 months, she loves them so much, she has to watch one every day. This gives me about 30-40 minutes daily to get something done around the house. she is so happy when the little caterpillar crawls across the screen... Highly recomended, and remember to start them early on these...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!!!!
Review: My son loves the entire Baby Einstein series. I have not found one video that he won't watch and he is only 5 months. I received Baby Bach at my shower and just thought that the whole Baby Einstein series was alot of hype and that no baby would actually sit down and watch the videos. Boy was I wrong! I am not a big fan of letting the television be a babysitter but I would rather my son watch Baby Einstein than many other programs out there. I can't say enough about these videos. I only wish that more would come out! Plus, a friend of mine teaches pre-school and she said that she highly recommends the Baby Einstein series to all parents.
