Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Adds Variety to the Mozart series
Review: Nice addition to our einstein library. Goes well with the Baby Webster cards or 18mo is enamoured with.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Daughter loved this video
Review: My daughter loved Baby Mozart and Baby Bach from the time she was 6 months to about 18 months. Nothing else would hold her attention as long as one of these short but educational videos. We normally wouldn't have let her watch a video as much as we let her watch these. The music is pleasant (can't beat the classics!), the colors are enticing, the skits short enough to hold her attention, and always educational. She learned many words based upon objects within this video series.

She did seem to lose interest in Baby Mozart and Baby Bach as she reached about 18 months and became more interested in the Dr. Dolittle World Animals and Neighborhood Animals.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved Baby Bach!
Review: Baby Bach was such a blessing. My Daughter loved for me to nurse her with Baby Bach playing in the background. I played it so much I wore out the tape. I then bought Baby Mozart & was very disappointed. My daughter did not respond as well as she did with Baby Bach. Bach was much more soothing and Mozart seemed to wind her up. I'm expecting a child in Feb. and am playing Bach to him now.
To sum up my opinion, I loved Baby Bach & recommend it highly for parents to help their little ones relax before nap or bedtime.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not as good as the others...
Review: Given that my son loves Baby Mozart, I went out and bought a number of other tapes, including Baby Bach. Wish I had read some of the reviews before hand! This video is simply not as good as the Mozart one. I was disappointed that the creator's children are featured in it as well. Loud and out of place laughs seem to startle my son. The graphics are similar, but I'm beginning to feel that "if you've seen one you've seen them all" and in this case, I recommend against buying this tape.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: As with the rest of this collection, this is a beautiful video, with beautiful music and my baby loves it as much as we do. It's great when we want to spend some fun relaxing time together, since we all enjoy it! He's now 13 months old, and has seen it for 5-6 months, and never gets tired of it. And as usual, the puppets and the Clark girls always make him laugh!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Baby Einstien Baby Bach
Review: This video is my daughter's favorite! I believe she really enjoys it because it is not over stimulating like other cartoons or children shows.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining but not really educational
Review: This is the first video in the series, that my daughter, then 10 months old recieved. She loved it from the beginning, and will still watch it 4 months later. Since then we have purchased more of these videos (Mozart, Shakepeare, Van Gogh and the 2 Baby Dolittles) and she has varied responses to them. Baby Bach uses toys, real children and other objects while playing "baby friendly" music. This formula works, my daughter is entertained by most of this video, especially the chicken and the robot segment, and with the exception of the lava lamp segment which will initially capture her attention but soon lose it. The video segments work around the introduction of the ascending scale sounded out throughout with still images of instuments. I have no problem with Julie Aigner-Clark using her own children in this video, but I think that may be on of the reasons this video comes across as so amateurish. Perhaps the use of live action children could have smoothed out the transitions between video clips and still images but instead, the overall feel is somewhat choppy. The use of Bach's music is good, but there really isn't much of it overall in this video because of all the sound effects that score the toy segments. Overall, I would have to say that baby Mozart was a better effort than Baby Bach. As with that video, I think the age range (1-36 months) is too broad. There are loud noises that can readily frighten young babies while the extremely repetitive and static nature of much of this video may bore older toddlers. There is no excuse, however, for the last bit of this video which is a selection of out-takes. Of what purpose, educational or entertainment are blooper clips of her daughters? You get to see the younger one flaying around on the floor, taking off sun glasses, and the older one mouthing "Mommy please stop laughing" and mugging for the camera. I'm sure, as their mother, she found this very cute. As a viewer, I found it extremely self-indulgent. Because of this, I turn the TV off so neither I or my daughter need be subject to the the antics of little Sierra and Aspen. If you want a change of pace from Baby Mozart, this video will do, but if you want to buy either one or the other, I would recommend Mozart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great set of videos
Review: This is one of the more boring videos in this series. However it still keeps my son entertained. It is all music based. It is obivous that this is one of there earier more low budget ones. And this is like torture for adults to have to endure. However it will keep you little one glued to the tv for 20-30 minutes. This one has no education value. For you first video get Baby shakespear or van gogh

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I had high hopes of this video relaxing my son...
Review: ... but no such luck.

I started playing the video when he was two months old. He would watch it and gradually dozed off, but two parts consistently woke him up. The "Cluck cluck cluck" of toy chickens, and the "clank clank clank" of coins being dropped into a metal bank. I continued playing the video until he was three and a half months old, but have given up on it for the moment.

If only the volume had been softened on these two parts, we would have enjoyed the video more. My son did seem to like to look at the faces of the toddlers, so that part did not bother me.

I received a free CD which had the cluck-cluck-cluck, clank-clank-clank and children's laughter eliminated. He enjoys listening to the CD on road trips.

If I had my way, the music in the video would have been softer, less plunky.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Save your money
Review: Like most people here, this video doesn't hold a candle to Baby Mozart which my baby loved: it's not as captivating, the flow is disrupted by the little daughters appearing for no reason, and the selection of Bach music was poor. C'mon, "Air" played the way it was is not going to get the babies attention at all. And the Clark parents went overboard by putting their kids in way too many skits .... They seemed to disrupt the flow.

Save your money if you are expecting something as good as Baby Mozart. We feel like these folks just wanted to throw something together figuring that parents like us would buy Baby Bach since we all loved Baby Mozart so much. Well it worked.
