Baby Einstein - Baby Mozart - Music Festival

This video is absolutely the best. I recommend it to anyone. My daughter sat and watched it at 6 month and still loves its now at 12 months. It has nice classical music that is not annoying to Mommy and Daddy. It is great for use in the car, and it has a continuos play option. It is the best of all the Baby Einstein videos. I give it at every baby shower.

I was originally opposed to introducing my baby to television, but after seeing my son's reaction at 10 months to this video, I changed my mind! He watched it and moved to the music until he was about 3 years old. We let him watch this 20-minute tape during dinner time (when he was younger) and it kept his interest the entire time. I just dug out our old tape for my daughter who is now 18 months old - and was delighted to find that she enjoys it even more than her brother did (if that's possible!). She asks for "Mozart" all the time, and dances and squeals with sheer delight when we finally pop in the video! She anticipates the upcoming characters and recites all the words for the objects. We also noticed that she recognizes the music if it's playing on a radio, or our piano. I cannot say enough great things about this video - and it's one of those that can be played over and over without annoying adults and bigger kids nearby. We're looking forward to watching the other videos in this series, scheduled for delivery under the Christmas tree this year!

Along with the other composer BE videos I am not impressed with the video portion and not at all because of the content. I just found that the video does not coincide very well with the music being played so at times the timing seems really off and as a result my child didn't seem too interested in this video but the music kept him intrigued so I believe I'll just pick up one of the C.D.s with the music and no video.

I cannot believe these "masterpieces" have so many positive reviews!!!
I watched two of them: "Baby Mozart" and "Baby Beethoven". First of all, they are totally retarded. Here is what is being shown with the synthesized music in the background: extremely ugly toys (I wonder where can one even unearth such treasures?); stupid and also ugly puppets that make unrealistic sounds (the lion barking?..); the spinning mobiles that make everyone dizzy; pictures of fruit and vegetables on a black background; and the only remotely educational part where some faceless hands build something like a stacker. Second, the quality of all this nonsense is as of an amateur home video. There are little animations between the parts of the movie - and even they look cheap, ugly, and unprofessional. On the top of that, the same toys were reused in both videos.
According to the product description, these creations are supposed to "introduce your little one to the splendor and delight of Mozart's classical music with visually stimulating real-world objects". Are those images what they call "real-world objects"?? Poor infants, they must be seriously confused - probably this is why some of them are mesmerized while watching this DVDs.
When we sat down with my 5 months old daughter to watch Baby Mozart, she stared at it for couple of minutes with a puzzled look, then turned to me with the question in her eyes: "Mommy, why in the world are you showing this to me? Maybe let's better watch Colbert Report?"
Let me say this in Russian for those who can read: "Duryat nashego brata!" (Brothers, we are being fooled!)

This video is fantastic! My baby has been watching it since she was 5 months old (twice a week). She is now over eight months old and still loves it. I put it on when shes very fussy. She immediately calms down. Its amazing how this video can hold her attention - sometimes through the second round! She's totally mesmerized by this and watches with so much concentration. For me, its one of the few things that is relatively pleasant no matter how many times I have to hear it (as opposed to those irritating toys with all sorts of sounds and songs).
