Summary: My son LOVES Baby Bach
Review: My son just loves Baby Bach, much more than Baby Mozart. He loves the music and the colors and pictures. The length of the video is perfect for my little six month old.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Well, the baby likes it....
Review: I agree 100% with the other reviews here - Baby Mozart WAS a better video; however, my year-old son enjoys them both equally. He is absolutely mesmerized by either of them. I like Bach better than Mozart, but I can't stand those adorable little blond girls in this one. Sorry to sound so grumpy, but they are absolutely cloying. Plus I can't get over the impression that these videos are jusÝ glorified commercials for the toys they show. A video with Bach in the background and nature footage (fish swimming, or dogs running around, or flowers) would do the same trick, and be a lot more healthy to watch. Okay, maybe I'll make a video myself - but I won't put my son in it!!

Summary: BABY BACH
Review: My 14 mo. daughter absolutly loves to watch Baby Bach when she is getting ready to go to sleep. Baby Bach helps to calm my very active daughter down for the night and when she gets tired she points to the VCR and tries to say Baby Bach. I've bought other videos designed for my daughters age and no other than the Baby Einstein line have been able to keep her attention. Well worth the money.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A warning
Review: My 16 month old son has come to enjoy videos immensely, andthis one is no exception. However, just a few minutes in, there is ahand puppet of a dragon that just terrified him. It even startled myhusband. We fast forward through that part, and after repeatedviewings he's not as upset, but I don't think there should be scaryparts in videos for babies...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Baby Bach Video
Review: My son has enjoyed all of the Baby Einstein series. The Baby Bach video is no exception. It has delightful images combined with the pleasant music of Bach. He asks to play it at least once a day. To be honest, I find the music and images relaxing also. It helps us wind down from a busy day.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as Baby Mozart
Review: I agree with the many reviews on here. While Baby Mozart is a "must have", this one is not. Although, I love the music of Bach, this video was a disappointment. I found the segments of the creator's daughter a bit too rehearsed and quite honestly, I'm not sure why they put her into it. It affects the flow of the video. Both Baby Mozart and Baby Bach appear "homemade", but Baby Mozart has much better flow and better choices of "real world objects". My son was not as "mesmorized" by Baby Bach as he was Baby Mozart.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK, . . .but Baby Mozart was better
Review: We purchased Baby Mozart for our daughter when she was about 6 months old and she loved it. We bought Baby Bach a few weeks later and, while she enjoyed it a little, Baby Bach is not as good. There are a lot more static shots with little or no movement and some scenes are repetitious. The producer also put their daughter (and other kids - maybe friends/neighbors) in the video and these scenes just don't fit in. It's obvious that they were just stuck in because they thought that it would be "cute" - it really wasn't. The music on this video is not as lively as the Mozart tape either.

In my experience these tape (Baby Mozart and Baby Bach) are great for the 6 - 12 month age range. They really hold the child's attention. When our daughter turned one she began to lose interest in these tapes.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Acceptable if annoying
Review: While our 16 month old enjoys this video as much as Baby Mozart and has done so for the past four months it definitely has deficiencies. My principal objection is to the static shots of various musical instruments accompanied by snatches of music that could not have possibly issued from those pictured. To my mind it would have been more interesting to show individuals playing those instruments. There is a certain lifelessness to the video as a whole increased by an echo chamber quality in some of the music and voices. Still, there just aren't that many videos out there for kids that can't yet talk so I don't want to be overly critical. As far as the frequent footage of producer's daughters...well it certainly provides us parents with a warning that what we may find simply adorable in our children just might be grating to others. From now on I vow to limit the number of baby photos I carry and the footage of home movies I show should I ever purchase a camcorder.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: From 3 months on, my daughter has enjoyed the 'Baby' series
Review: My 17 month old daughter has loved watching Baby Einstein and Baby Mozart since she was 3 months old. I figured I might as well complete the set with Baby Bach. How disappointing. Many images are repetitive and the gratuitous shots of her daughters are tiring. My daughter loses interest in this video quickly. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Buy Baby Mozart Instead!
Review: Our one year old has loved Baby Mozart since she was 6 months old. I bought Baby Bach for variety - what a mistake! The toys don't move enough, the clips of the director's children are lame, and the music isn't nearly as catchy. This was horribly thrown together. If you want variety try something else. (Though we've also tried Baby Genius and others but nothing seems to hold our daughter's attention like Baby Mozart.) Good luck hunting, but please don't waste your money on this one.
