Customer Rating: 
Summary: Good but too many piano-only musics
Comment: Some of the songs are very pleasant (when there is a singer). Unfortunately many are piano-only.
Customer Rating:

Comment: This is a wonderful album for children and children-at-heart alike. Up-beat yet melodic... these tunes will warm your heart and put a smile on your face.
A great present for Disney lovers and new Moms!

Summary: A beautiful CD of soothing adult music - which happens to be Disney Songs.
Comment: For the most part, I detest Disney songs. There are some beautiful pieces out there but alot of them just get on my nerves. Saw this at my local library and decided to check it out for my first son (I'll give anything free a try). This is coming from a mommy who hates "kid-ified or dummied down" music (see baby einstein series). I ABSOLUTELY ADORE LOVE THIS CD! To me, it feels like a beautiful CD made for adults to relax too, that happens to just use Disney songs. It's ever so sweet and gentle that I play it for myself to fall asleep. Oh yes, the son loves it too. P.S. The "baby mine" is a real tearjerker. Wonderful vocals. Elegant piano playing. My second son falls asleep to either this or Carnie Wilsons "A Mother's Gift" which is also a wonderful collection of lullabies that also seems to be made for adults...

Summary: Nice, pleasant, okay
Comment: Sometimes a Jim Brickman composition transcends normal background music and is absolutely heavenly. I was looking for something to send a 3-year-old who loves music, and insists that his parents play him some new and favorite songs every day. I had read other reviewers' notes on this, and thought it might be the perfect thing - great for kids, great for adults. Actually, I have listened to it twice, and it seems like the kind of pleasant, quiet, familiar music that just melts into the background. Not as creative, dramatic, or varied as I was expecting from this marvelous musician. Perhaps I just need to play it a zillion times much louder (to simulate how it will actually be used in the 3-year-old's house!).

Summary: great for kids and us adults
Comment: I work in the infant and toddler room of a daycare and we use Jim Brickman's cds for naptime music all the time. But this cd is without a doubt my favorite. It's mellow enough to play during naptime and the kids enjoy it but the adults in the room enjoy it too. And we don't go crazy from hearing another rendition of something like "5 Little Ducks Went Swimming One Day." The renditions of classic Disney songs include my favorite "Reflection," but then there's the original song "Beautiful" with Wayne Brady that is absolutely Disney like. And the formal American Idols Kimberly Locke and Josh Gracin are wonderful. In short it's a great cd for kids and adults.

Editorial Reviews:

New Agey pianist Jim Brickman's history with children-friendly material goes back a long way--one of his early assignments was writing for Jim Henson, after all. On this album, he tackles Disney songs, although that definition is rather flexible. New tracks "Beautiful" (featuring vocalist Wayne Brady) and "I'm Amazed" (featuring country singer Lila McCann) aren't actually from any movie or TV show but inspired by Cinderella. (Other singing guests of note include former American Idol contestants Kimberley Locke and Josh Gracin.) Brickman's approach is so mellow that it's hard to tell the tunes apart in a Mary Poppins medley made up of five different songs, including the usually upbeat "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." This actually extends to the entire album, which feels like an extended medley. On the plus side, nothing comes in to peskily disrupt the soothing vibe. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
