Since it is claimed that the unborn child in its mother’s womb perceives exterior noises (complex sounds which it presumably takes in just as they come), why not give it some proper music to listen to? Let your ear, and that of your child, be captivated by the harmonious waves of these inspired pieces of music. Listen actively, and your baby will join in…

This new 2CD compilation on Virgin Classics brings together carefully chosen music by the great composers’ most popular works: Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Mozart Grieg, to name but a few… be it for piano, violin, voice or orchestra, a wonderful introduction to the world of classical music.

Over recent years Virgin Classics has devised several compilations around the theme of music for babies, this new set takes some of the most popular pieces from each.
