Summary: not Baby Mozart, but will do for variety
Review: Our 6 month old (very fussy) son absolutely adores Baby Mozart, and we were so relieved to have found something that calmed him down 100% of the time that we bought Baby Bach and Baby Einstein.

I heartily agree with those who say that Baby Bach is a big step down from Baby Mozart--the "timing" (balance of images/music intervals) isn't as good, the toys aren't as interesting to watch and the toys are not as well matched to the music. Furthermore, the "jazzed up" arrangements of the Bach music didn't strike me as very appealing to babies, and (like other reviewers) my baby and I get totally bored by the images of the creators' kids telling jokes, jumping around, and generally hamming it up for the camera. It seemed to me as if they ran out of ideas, so they decided to just film their kids for a while and edit those segments in.

Though I'm a big Bach fan myself, I think the tiniest tykes might not find his music as engaging as Mozart's (at least not the selections they chose), and that may be another problem with this video.

That said, we are afraid that someday soon our little one will get tired of Baby Mozart, so Baby Bach will do for variety. I'm not sorry we bought it, but I hope that the video's producers will wait until they have enough new and good ideas before producing another video, rather than slapping together a production like Baby Bach.

Summary: My 4 month old son loves it!!
Review: I first showed this video to my son at 8 weeks old. He is absolutely enthralled by the moving toys and colors! I don't hear a peep from him throughout the 30 minutes.

Summary: Bach Bad...Mozart Good
Review: Since my 6 month old loves Baby Mozart we decided to buy Baby Bach. She starts to cry when we play the video. I guess I should have looked at the reviews before buying it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Toddlers Still Loving It
Review: My two year old daughters have been watching the entire series since they were wee ones - about 4 mos. old. We recently purchased the Bach video. While I agree with some of the comments that the quality isn't the same as the Mozart and Einstein videos... I have to say that my daughters beg for this video by name. They love the entire series. Not bad for any video(s)-- to entertain a child for over two years. And they still fascinate them.

I wish the producers would come out with another one!

Summary: Too little Bach!
Review: My baby loves his Baby Mozart and his Baby Einstein videos, but he starts to cry after a few minutes of Baby Bach. This video seems to be an advertisement for toy companies rather than an attempt at entertaining babies. The toys shown move slowly and do not appeal to young babies. Also- where is the Bach music??? My baby is very fond of listening to Bach - but this video contains very little actual Bach music, and too many weird sound effects. The Bach music that is heard is so Disney-fied that it has little to do with Bach anymore. If Bach's music is as good for babies' deveopment as they are claiming at the end of the video - why not give the babis some actual Bach music?

Summary: MY SON LOVES BABY BACH !!! HE THINKS IT IS FAR FROM BORING!
Review: My son received Baby Bach as a gift at about 14 months old. He loved it instantly and still does (he is now 16 months). He has been watching Sesame Street videos since he was 1 month and a half. He actually says "Bach Bach" when he wants his Baby Bach video. He watches it at least once a day, often many times in a row. Sometimes he watches every second laughing and talking at his favorite parts and other times he plays with his toys while watching and runs to the TV during his favorite parts (two of which are the chicken saying "bach bach" and the young girls in the video). I haven't seen Baby Mozart or Baby Einstein yet; however, I would NOT say that Baby Bach is a waste of time or money. It has been GREAT for us. Upon talking to other mothers regarding their children's personalities and skill levels, I have found that certain items stimulate some children when other children may not be ready for them yet!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great for the Teletubbie set
Review: A friend recommended this seriers of videos to us, and we are so glad she did! Our very energetic daughter can not stop for anything, yet she stops to watch and listen to Baby Bach. The first words out of her mouth each morning are "Bach, Bach" (funny, given the chicken puppet that shows up periodically). At any rate, she is interested, and really enjoys these videos. They are recommend for children aged 1-3, so that may explain why some of the parents of the younger infants may not be as satisfied as we are. Hang in there, it WILL be worth it.

Summary: Put this one "bach" on the shelf ...please!
Review: My 6 month old daughter adores the "Baby Mozart" video and we often have it on during dinner. It is nice to be able to sit and eat and listen to some pleasing music while the baby is entertained by the bright colors, interesting toys and soothing music.

We were very disappointed with the "Baby Bach" video which was done by the same people. The musical selections are jarringly short and not particularly soothing. There is a loud and annoying chicken in the middle of the video and the originator's daughter telling goofy jokes. (Felt like I was watching someone's home movies.)

So ... if you are interested in an entertaining video for your baby, I highly suggest purchasing "Baby Mozart" and leaving "Baby Bach" behind.

Summary: A colossal disappointment
Review: Our two month old has loved Baby Mozart since she was a mere 4 weeks, yet STILL loves to watch it for the full time straight (yes, even with her "baby attention span"). We LOVE everything about Baby Mozart. HOWEVER . . . (you knew there was a however) Baby Back is a HUGE disappointment. The video is hardly interesting (even to us grownups, who enjoy watching Baby Bach with our daughter), and appears to be an exercise in vanity for the video's makers, who have inserted their oh-so-trendily-named children throughout the video. Are we sure that this video wasn't made by Kathie Lee Gifford???? Meanwhile, the toys are slow moving, and boring to watch. My daughter has been bored to tears (literally) every time she watches this drivel. Baby Mozart, however, never fails to disappoint. Musicwise, while I LOVE Bach (more than Mozart), herr German Composer is given short shrift in this video. MORAL: STAY AWAY FROM IT AND BUY BABY MOZART INSTEAD!!!!!
