Product Description
Amazon.com
With so many hipster artists cranking out kids' music, finding a disc of unflashy tunes for a little one to nap by can be like shopping for Keds at a custom sneaker boutique. That's not to suggest that this sweetly sung collection of French and English lullabies is plain vanilla, only that it's a likably retro exercise in dispensing the kind of music that has effectively carted kids off to the sandman for centuries. Connie Kaldor and Carmen Campagne, the performers of these 13 mostly original but classic-sounding tracks, carry their tunes in maternal voices that could smooth the most rumpled of nerves, be they in a colicky infant or a cranky grandparent. And the landscapes they describe in service of their task seem plucked from a holistic practitioner's remedy book: "Close your eyes and dream/There are clouds to cuddle/Moonbeams to climb/Stardust to catch you," goes the gentle first verse to "Dream Baby L'enfant des Reves." Kaldor and Campagne's Canadian background accounts for the bilingual twist, but it's not distracting; the French, in fact, compounds the prairie night's poufy pastel sweetness. --Tammy La Gorce

Perfect for the car.,
By
This review is from: Lullaby Berceuse (Audio CD)
We kept the music (on tape as it was 23 years ago) in the car and on long drives, we would listen to it when we felt the three kids needed to sleep. They would quiet down quickly and mellow out and soon would fall asleep. The calm music and the sweet voices of the two singers would create a wonderful atmosphere in the car. My husband and I have come to deeply appreciate the beautiful moments on the road listening to the tape. Our kids have grown up now. They are in their twenties. I bought several copies of the music (now in CD) and planned to give each of the kids a copy. My son was visiting when the package arrived. I just started saying "Do you remember the tape we used to listen in the car when ... " and did not finish. He remembered immediately, got excited and put the CD on right away. I was completely amazed that he even remembered the music as our vehicle (including the tape) got stolen when he was 10 years old. I also bought copies for friends who are becoming new mothers. It makes me happy to give it to them.

Every Baby Needs A Lullaby Berceuse,
By
This review is from: Lullaby Berceuse (Audio CD)
This cd of lullabies is a must have for every baby in the world, not just prairie babies. In Lullaby Berceuse: Warm Prairie Night, Connie Kaldor brings her considerable song-writing skills to lullabies, songs in both French and English, and they are among the loveliest lullabies I have ever heard. Will bring tears to a mother's eyes...and a father's, too! Don't know how many of these I've given as presents now, but the cd is always a hit. Nothing ordinary or sappy--simply lovely, memorable, singable.

Sleep time,
By
This review is from: Lullaby Berceuse (Audio CD)
We played this all the time when our 4 children were newborns and for years afterward and it always had the desired effect but it also created a childhood memory that to this day (our children are in their early 20's) would give them a feeling of fuzzy comfort. We have given it as a special gift to new parents over the years and the feedback has always been very positive. The music and voices are very soothing and beautiful.
