The Baby Einstein series continues with Lullaby Classics, a collection of lullabies from some of classical music's best-known composers. The album begins with an aptly sparkling rendition of Mozart's Variations (Twinkle, Twinkle) K265/300e; his Piano Sonata in D, K 576, 3rd Movement and Piano Sonata in C, K 545, 2nd Movement get similar treatment. ...
This excellent collection of songs from the "War Years" includes The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, the Dorsey Brothers, and Harry James, among others. It's great for the novice. ~ Kenneth M. Cassidy, All Music Guide
Music for Little People's Toddler Favorites is an appealing collection of good versions of 16 classic children's songs, such as "Wheels on the Bus," "Twinkle Twinkle," "Baah Baah Black Sheep," "I'm a Little Teapot, " "Peas Porridge Hot," "Old MacDonald," "This Old Man," "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "If You're Happy and You Know It." Very few ...
The Baby Einstein series features definitive pieces from major composers as performed by the Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra. Baby Mozart represents the classical period, which includes delicate, delightful performances of such pieces as "Piano Sonata in C, K545, 1st Movement," "Variations on Av Vou Dirai-Je, Maman, No. 1, 8 and 11, K265/300e," ...
VH1's Save the Music Foundation and Nettwerk came together in fall 2002 to support music education around North America. The various-artists collection For the Kids is a delightful way to do it. The 16-track compilation features an assorted mix of classic children's songs and fresh originals sung by some of modern rock's finest artists. For the ...
This compilation is just what it says: number one hits on the American charts from the 1960s. It has a leg up on some similar anthologies, though, by virtue of its sheer quantity: 26 songs spanning the entire decade, which is pretty good value for a single CD. While it's true the selection is a little arbitrary, on the whole it's really good, and ...
Pure Disco contains 12" mixes and remixes of classic dance and disco songs from the late '70s, including "I Love the Nightlife," "I Will Survive," "Celebration," "That's the Way (I Like It)," "Funkytown," "YMCA," and "Dancing Queen." Though there are a few original versions of these singles on the disc, most of it is comprised of remixes, which ...
Although it doesn't have any traits that distinguish it from the glut of '90s disco compilations, Pure Disco 2 is an entertaining collection of familiar disco items that makes for a good party album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
One of the most dominating forces in the history of popular music, the Motown imprint was more than a label, it was a juggernaut of soul music, a machine so finely honed and working with such efficiency that it wasn't uncommon for several chart topping hits to be recorded in one session. This anthology was previously issued in 2000 under the ...
Putumayo's Dreamland - World Lullabies & Soothing Songs gathers a baker's dozen of diverse but restful songs aimed at -- but not restricted to -- children. The collection takes care to represent as many countries and continents as possible, and likewise presents its liner notes in four different languages (English, Spanish, French, and Dutch) and ...
Since Pure Disco was a success, Mercury decided to assemble a sequel, Pure Funk. Like its predecessor, Pure Funk is a terrific 20-track collection of funk classics, from Rick James"Super Freak" to Parliament's "Flashlight." A couple of songs are marginally funk -- it's hard to call the kitsch-fest "Kung Fu Fighting" or Earth, Wind & Fire's sultry ...
A truly delightful collection of tunes from Disney movies, reaching from the '40s to the '90s. And all sung by Disney "princesses," from Ariel the Little Mermaid to Pocahontas, Sleeping Beauty to Cinderella. Though perhaps targeted at girls who want to be little princesses themselves (as are the video collections), the songs appeal to anyone of ...
This three-CD box set contains 66 tracks taken from various schools of the first decade (or so) of rock & roll: doo wop, girl group, rockabilly, early soul, light pop/rock, New Orleans R&B, and more. For the most part they were big hits, though one or two things you'll rarely if ever hear on oldies radio are thrown in, like Little Richard's "True, ...
Originally advertised on television and then released to stores, Pure Moods could be subtitled "New Age's Greatest Hits." Certainly, it has everything that the mainstream pop audience could construe as new age -- atmospheric synthesizers, chants and haunting sonic textures. More importantly, it has all of the songs, from Enigma ("Return to ...
Shout! Factory's 2006 Legends of Country: Classic Hits from the '50s, '60s & '70s was released in conjunction with a PBS television special of the same name, and where the TV show showcased live recordings, the album is a three-disc box set that serves up original recordings of 57 country standards -- roughly one disc apiece for the '50s, '60s and ...
The soundtrack to Michael features a few angel-themed hits scattered amongst traditional hits by Don Henley, Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, Al Green, the Mavericks, Van Morrison. ~ Keith Farley, All Music Guide
Rhino's Halloween Hits delivers everything anyone could want from a collection of spooky, campy rock & roll novelty songs about ghouls, ghosts, goblins, and monsters -- namely, "The Monster Mash." Just kidding, folks -- it has much more than that, including Jumpin' Gene Simmons' "Haunted House," the Five Blobs' "The Blob," Ray Parker, Jr.'s ...
Billboard Top Hits: 1979 offers a solid cross-section of what was in retrospect a really good year for pop radio. With disco still at its commercial zenith, dance hits like the Village People's "Y.M.C.A.," Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell," and Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" dominated airwaves, but there was also room for everything from power pop ...
The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World Ever comes close to living up to its name, collecting two discs' worth of serene classical favorites like Grieg's "Morning" from Peer Gynt, Satie's "Gymnopedie No. 1," Debussy's "Clair De Lune," Pachelbel's "Canon in D" and "Winter" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons are some of the other highlights of this ...
Though there are only 12 tracks on this collection, the selections are impeccable: two standards by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington each, plus individual tracks by Lena Horne, Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Shirley Horn. ~ Keith Farley, All Music Guide
While the title alone would seem to invite criticism, it's a justified tag, as this 20-track collection rounds up some pretty serious contenders. Kicking off with Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo," Benny Goodman's "Stompin' at the Savoy," and Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," the set includes signature tunes from Woody Herman, Artie Shaw ...
