Product Description

From Amazon.com

It's called "the Mozart Effect," the notion that exposing youngsters to the melodies of the maestro can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory. It's a pretty big leap of faith to understand that effect unless you personally see a toddler react to the stimulation. The Baby Einstein folks have a series of tapes (Baby Einstein, Baby Bach) that add visual stimulation to the bouncy recordings (using vibraphone, Rhodes electric piano, and even a glockenspiel). The melodies are heard against colorful imagery of spinning tops, wave machines, soft baby toys, mobiles, and the like. Several parenting groups and magazines have heralded the tapes for children 1 to 36 months, but the Orwellian aspect of introducing babes in arms to the TV screen may cause many to just pick up the CD. --Doug Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars BABY MOZART is the one to buy, April 1 2003
By 
"tkvm3" (Ohio, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart (DVD)
Friends gave us the BABY MOZART video (made 1998) as a gift for our infant when he was 4 months old. He loved it then and he loves it now. It completely holds his attention for the 28 minutes or so it runs. Our little guy has watched it dozens of times over the last two months. It takes Mozart's music and presents it in very child-friendly renditions with simple visuals of toys and puppets. The pacing and length are exactly right.

We have played BABY MOZART about 3 times a week for the last 2 months and our little guy enjoys it every time. He smiles and giggles at his favorite parts. Believe it or not, the only time he loses interest is when the credits and ads come on at the end ! We can almost guarantee ourselves almost a half hour of getting chores done around the house as the program runs. (Buy it on DVD because you will eventually wear out the tape.)

Based on the Mozart program, we soon bought BABY BACH (made 2000) and BABY BEETHOVEN (made 2002) on DVD. Save your money. BABY BACH is a total bust. He lasts about 7 minutes at best. He never liked it. I don't like it. Stupid still shots of toy instruments just sitting there and gratuitous shots of kids lend nothing.

BABY BEETHOVEN is a fair program and our little guy will sometimes sit through about 15 minutes of it but it pales in comparison to BABY MOZART. The Beethoven video includes even more pointless shots of children and lots of [pricey] toys and mobiles which it promotes at the end.

The music on BEETHOVEN and BACH is certainly as good as the Mozart video but for our baby and for us, the overall presentations just don't cut it.

BABY MOZART however is a wonderful program and should be in almost every child's video library. With Mozart, they did catch magic in a bottle. Too bad they weren't able to repeat it with the later efforts.

2.0 out of 5 stars I'm surprised..., Sep 8 2008
This review is from: Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart (DVD)
I truly am surprised by the number of positive reviews for this DVD. My son has loved music since birth, but could have cared less for this video. We tried it every couple of weeks to see if it would ever hold his attention, to no avail - I think the longest he lasted was 5 minutes. He did, however, love The Muppet Show (which we're slowing collecting as each subsequent season becomes available) and still does. Now that he's just over a year old, he also enjoys the Baby Einstein Counting and Body Parts DVDs, but again, the Mozart DVD was a total bust, and based on our experience, I can't recommend it. I also have a serious 'beef' with all of the promotional garbage you HAVE to watch before you get to the actual video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool!, July 22 2004
By 
This review is from: Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart (DVD)
I loved this video mostly because it was a great tool to help extend my baby's wake time in the mornings. It kept her interested but not overstimulated. It wasn't too loud or too busy, it was a perfect balance! Well thought out, I think.
