CD Reviews

Watered down classic.
07/18/1999
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I might have rated this CD higher if I hadn't heard Classical Kids "Beethoven" and "Bach" CDs first. This is, unfortunately, a watered down, "Disneyised" version of Mozart's opera. Neither faithfull to the story, or in my opinion to the music. Still better than most of the stuff tossed out for children, but only a small step above "Hooked On Classics"."
My child now knows and thinks he loves opera
