(5 out of 5 stars)

"Really love the CD but most importantly my 2 year old does! We can spend all day with it on the back ground. I like this series because the recordings are carefully curated orchestral selections rather than a children's adaptation. The only variation is that some movements are abridged for shorter attention spans. There is nothing wrong with children's adaptations, it's good to expose the kids to any type of music."
