Product Description

Every stage is an exciting adventure with your newborn. As babies grow, they absorb a wide variety of sights and sounds.

Designed to reflect the world from a baby's point of view, this visually rich "first contact" with some of Johann Sebastian Bach's most popular compositions offers parents and little ones a wonderful opportunity to share the fun of discovery together!

Designed for infants and toddlers (1 to 36 months), Baby Bach is a nicely produced video that features recognizable, familiar toys and colorful objects, moving to the complexly beautiful music of Johann Sebastian Bach. According to the video producers, "Bach's music has shown to enhance creativity, improve academic achievement, reduce anxiety and heighten mental awareness." Any parent will embrace this theory. Not only did this video completely captivate a 22-month-old for its entire 30-minute run-time, but it's easy on the parents, too. The images are lively, clean, and sharp, and producers The Baby Einstein Company have a firm handle on what interests babies and toddlers. The extraneous segments with two pretty little blonde girls is silly, but forgivable. Given that most children elect to watch a video repeatedly, this is one that parents won't mind in the slightest. The music, available on CD, is simply lovely. --N.F. Mendoza

 Is Bach "enchanting"? Prelude to "Kenny G Plays Bach." December 22, 2008
I haven't seen "Baby Mozart" and decided to preview this one before giving it to my granddaughter. If this one deserves the criticism of some other reviewers, the Mozart video must indeed be terrific. The arresting images made me think I was watching in HD/Blue Ray yet, despite the visual enhancement, they're all familiar objects, toys, and child faces that should grab the little spectator's attention. The music, too, is "enhanced," and therein lies a potential problem. Why must all of Bach's music--piano, organ, orchestral, choral--be played on a soft and echoey synthesizer? It's all quite enchanting, but how often is Bach, of all composers, ever described as "enchanting"?
I like the repeated use of Minuet in G, since that's the piece kids taking Suzuki or conventional lessons are likely to play after Twinkle Little Star. But if Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" is considered suitable for innocent young ears, Bach deserves to have producers less bent on covering up his authentic authoritative voice.
 Pass on this one! December 14, 2008
My baby loves Baby Beethoven, so we tried Baby Bach for a little variety. Her verdict was... BORING. She won't watch Bach, while she remains riveted to Beethoven. I don't think they did testing to see what would interest babies on this product. I still am a strong proponent of Baby Einstein DVDs, but some are much better than others. Pass on this one.
 Pretty good August 7, 2008
This dvd is pretty good. It's not as good as the Baby Mozart, but it's not bad either. My son will watch it, but I have to keep directing his attention back to it at times. The music is not as peppy as the Baby Mozart, but Baby Bach is still musical in nature-making it better than all of the other Baby Einstein dvd's we have with the exception of Baby Mozart.
 Baby gift extraordinaire February 25, 2008
This is a wonderful gift for a new baby -- the music lulls them to sleep, and by the time they reach the ripe old age of 3 months, they will be watching the TV as the shapes go with the music! I wish these had been around when my kids were babies!
Great DVD October 6, 2007
My 10 month old daughter loves this video and Amazon got it to me in two days! Excellent.
