Anyone listening to classical music?

My husband really wants me to do this (as hes heard it can be good for babies brains), but I have no idea where to start.  I know of a couple composers, but not sure what to try first as there are hundreds of cds at my local library to choose from.  Any cd recommendations?  Thanks!

    Talking to a music major, so yeah, I love classical. Big Smile

    For a dramatic selection Mahler is nice. Try some things you already know, Swan Lake, Nutcracker Suite, etc. Nothing wrong with the classics! Carmina Burana's music is nice, if you can find the instrumental version, or don't mind opera as well.

    When I drive to work in the morning I will turn it to the Classical channel. But  sometimes I get to relaxed and have to change it.

    I know it's not classical, but Enya is really nice to listen to. It's mellow, has a good sound, and her voice is very soothing. We used it at the preschool I worked at during naptime.

    try listening to a composer that you do like on Pandora, i listen all day at work...it's very relaxing and helps to create a less stressful enviroment.

    I am really into Vivaldi's four seasons. I bet if you pop it in, you will recognize it. :o)

    Do you use the Birmingham Library or Bloomfield Twp on Telegraph?

    If you go to the latter, I just returned Beatles for babies, and it is pretty good. You should check it out! It's classical versions of Beatles tunes for the wee ones (no words) Plus, you can pre-order stuff online so it's just ready for pickup. (I am obsessed with the library now that they've updated it) 

     PS- The Detroit Bumpies are all getting together next Thursday- you should come!

    I just use the Novi library and preorder what I can :)  I was thinking about going to the GTG, but I'm not sure if I'm free on that day yet.  Is it Thurs?  I thought it said Weds?

    I didn't scroll up all the way, and thought you were from Birmingham! (One of the PP's is) and yes, the gtg is on Weds. I guess today I have MAJOR prego brain! You should totally come on Wed. even though I know it's a hike! We need to organize the next one on the west side!
