Summary: Not nearly as good as Baby Mozart
Review: My son (8 months)seems really bored with this one. Baby Mozart has great music and the shown items are always moving. This one has great music, but has way too many still shots. Loses baby's attention often.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great at a Young Age
Review: We received a Baby Mozart VHS tape for a shower present. I didn't think we'd use it right away. When our daughter was 3 weeks, he popped it in and she loved it! We immediately bought the Baby Bach DVD. BUY DVDs! They have additional features like (repeat play), so you don't need to rewind a tape to keep baby entertained! My daughter is now 8 months old and still watches her Baby Einstein DVDs on a regular basis. When she's fussy from teething, we put her in front of the TV and "Baby Bach" her. She's content and mommy and daddy can recharge our batteries! They say it's bad for babies to watch TV so young, but the Baby Einstein company stimulates babies - it's good for them!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Skip it!
Review: My sixteen month old son and I are huge fans of this series, but Baby Bach falls short of the rest. The skits are random, repetitive and portions are scary. My son actually cries if we watch it. Order Baby Mozart, Baby Shakespere and World Animals and skip Baby Bach.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Daughter loves it!
Review: Shortly after my daughter was born I purchased Baby Mozart. She started watching it at 1 1/2 months and loved it. After watching it over and over I decided for a change, so I purchased the Baby Bach DVD. My daughter also really enjoys this one. She smiles every time she sees the caterpillar at the beginning of each DVD. On Baby Bach she likes the ducks and when the little girl laughs. I have decided that these are a great buy. We certainly have got our money worth.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A favorite from day 1
Review: While the images are simplistic, and adults will quickly tire of it, this DVD has offered hours of entertainment for my daughter since her first days home. She is captivated by the colors and movement, and I am thrilled she is being exposed to classical music in such a unique way (unlike most of us who got their first taste of classical music from Bugs Bunny cartoons). The best part is I can put it on, put her in front of it and get some housework done while knowing she is not seeing any commercials, violence, sex or swearing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm Guilty
Review: Before I had my beloved baby, I swore I would never ever use a video or a TV to babysit her. ANd well, no matter how I rationalize it, Baby Bach is a video and I did use it -- a lot when I was so completely overwhelmed and at wits end during those early months. My child would sit in her little Chicco mama sofa rocker and watch. My daughter, who is now 6 months, loved this thing when she was 2, 3, and 4 months. It was a part of my bedtime routine. SHe was completely enthralled. Completely. Loved it. Interestingly, I watched it myself, enthralled several times.

Basically, this lady seems to have gone in her attic and gotten some used toys, videotaped them to music and put her two little girls in there every now and then for cuteness.

Now that I have some mastery over motherhood, I do not "use" this tape so much. While my daugheter still watches it every couple of weeks, she seems now to be "studying" it -- not just looking at it. But, she usually bores with it after about 15 minutes.

I will buy the others, too.

Buy it. Baby will love it.

Summary: Absurd
Review: Not often is the cultural difference between Americans and the rest of the world this clear: This DVD is the silliest thing that I have ever seen - pictures of toys in motion, kids playing, other every day scenes - for crying out loud: Give your baby these toys and put on some classical music in the background, and you will achieve the same, plus he/she will learn some much needed motor skills as well. I was just so sad/disappointed when I played this for my baby, and I realized this was just using the TV as a babysitter and replacement for real learning activities. My advice, and an opinion I probably share with all of Europe, is to spend the money directly on some of good toys and music featured in this DVD

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: my opinion
Review: My son, who is currently 3months old loves this video... we bought the video after seeing julie clark on Oprah. My son sits in his infant seat and will watch, coo, gurgle, and giggle along with this video. When I turn it on he is glued to the tv!! The music and kinetic objects in this video are great I have currently purchased an audio cd for him to listen when he goes down for a nap he absolutely loves then soothing sounds of the classical music...I think anyone who purchases this video will not be disappointed!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Baby Mozart, but still keeps our baby entertained
Review: I'll agree with many of the reviews here that this doesn't approach the magic that was achieved on Baby Mozart. It does not grab our daughter's attention, nor hold our daughter's attention, quite like Baby Mozart does.

That said, it is still a nice video and does offer a nice alternative to Baby Mozart. Our girl can get a bit bored with it, look down and begin playing with something, and then have a certain scene pop up that she enjoys and she'll be drawn back to watching it for a short period.

Some folks have complained a bit about Julie Aigner-Clark putting her kids in the video. Well, to be honest, I actually like them in it. I think most babies enjoy looking at other babies and children, and whenever they pop on the screen, my girl tends to drop what she is doing and watch them. So I can forgive Aigner-Clark's seeming indulgence. Hey, these videos are for your baby, not you, and babies don't care whose kids are in the video...they like watching them!

The other features of the DVD are nothing special. My guess is they are rarely used (though I did do the reading feature with my 9-month old the other day, and she was somewhat transfixed with the images even if she is clueless about the words being said).

I'd recommend the DVD as it has continuous play capability. No need to suffer through that pesky VHS re-wind!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Baby Bach
Review: Fantastic movie! Great enjoyable lively classical music in backround but very fun, happy and educational visuals all throughout the movie. NOT a boring "let your kids be exposed to classical music" movie. To all who give it a try, enjoy!
