Nice tunes but NOT SOOTHING ENOUGH for babies!!!Jul 26, 2010 I love a lot of the pieces on here so I had high hopes for using this as bedtime music for my baby. Two MAJOR problems:
1) Some of the songs are start with nice soft soothing music and then bridge into bold robust pounding sections that will shake anyone awake!
2) The lazy publishers of this disc set did not bother to balance the sound from track to track, so there are some tracks that are MUCH louder than others, again, shakes me and baby both awake in the middle of listening. ARRRGH!!!
Both of these would have been easy fixes if someone wasn't just out to make a buck without putting in a little effort to "curate" the album. So disapointing.
Lullabies for the young and young at heartJul 10, 2010 Purchased the CD from Amazon.com when my daughter asked me to find some soothing music to help her first child relax and fall to sleep. They have and are still enjoying the CD very often.
RelaxingApr 12, 2010 This is wonderful music, easily the best classical music CD i own. I highly recommend it. It contains two discs and is a great way to relax after work.
The Most Soothing LullabiesFeb 18, 2010 great collection of classical music that most people would recognize. I was so happy to finally find this music played with real instruments and not midi/synthesized. I like to play this cd in the evening while we start to wind things down and helps my transition towards bed time. Could also be played softly while baby falls asleep.

The title is completely inaccurate...Oct 25, 2009 I put music on for the kids while they sleep to block out noise. I got this new CD and I put the first CD on repeat at a good volume level and tucked the kids in and left.. they were waking up all throughout the night that week and I couldn't figure out why... then I happened to be in the kitchen getting something to drink in the middle of the night and the music coming from their room was so loud and not soothing, I know I couldn't even sleep through it. Just listen to track 8 on the first CD sample they have here on Amazon to see an example of NOT the most soothing...
As one reviewer said, the volume levels are inconsistent.
Another reviewer gave it 5 stars but said "The first 2 songs are mellow and relaxing (just enough to help put a baby to sleep) then the 3rd song comes on like a thunderbolt and will wake the child if your not careful."
OK, call me crazy but how on earth does that make this "The most soothing lullabies in the Universe" ?!? Seriously misleading title.
I am going to have to rip the 2 CD's to my computer then make my own mix of the most soothing songs that are on here because I'd hate to think I wasted my money entirely. I love some of the songs, but the mix as a whole is terrible.
