Excellent for first exposure to classical music
Our family has listened to almost the whole "Classical Kids" series and I must say the whole series is such excellent work. The words are clearly spoken, the story flow very good and the music provided good dramatic emphasis at the right parts. My young kids were captivated. I'm just happy that they have developed an appreciation for classical music through this series which is their first exposure to this genre, alongside with popular cartoons on TV (which I try to limit!)

Love Audio Books
We got this audio book series for our daughter when she was 8 years old. She is 12 now and she is still listening and loving those audio books. The combination between radio-theater with classical music is perfect. I am a grownup and I love listening to those CDs.

Such a treat to listen to
We got this cd when my daughter was 4 years old and we have not tired of listening to it after 3 years. We all love Mr Bach and of course we pronounce his name correctly. The story really touched me as my Grandmother was a musician and was also a German speaker. Many of the things that Mr. Bach says in the story sound like her speaking again, although it has been 40 years since I have heard her voice. I like the fact that the series has some very different story lines, but all really familiarize one with the composers music.

Entertaining
I loved this CD and so did my kids, 6 year olds. They learned a lot about Bach and his music. I hear them singing pieces written by Bach to themselves. I'd recommend this one to anyone.

Post Christmas 2007 Review
The product itself was excellent however I was greatly disappointed that it did not arrive until December 26 (ordered on 12/7/07).
