Free Music Review: My Kids Love This CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this CD for my kids (ages 13, 9,7, and 1) last July. They ALL love it and ask to listen to it all the time. They have memorized the lyrics and the older three know the names of the composers as well as the names of the original songs. My one year old loves "Hyden's Great Surprise" and recognizes it the moment it begins to play. Great music for kids of all ages. The voice quality of Richard Perlmutter is not great...but we love the CD anyway. A very enjoyable way to learn some great classical tunes. Free Music Review: Teach your kids about classical music
Hit: 5 Stars
I loved this CD almost as much as my seven year old. We both enjoy the lyrics. And I'm betting she will remember who Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Hayden are for a long time to come. I also enjoy listening to the orchestral movements without the lyrics on the second half of the disc. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to expose children to classical music. One doesn't have to be young to enjoy the witty lyrics.Free Music Review: Irritating

Humor is subjective. I liked the idea of this cd but when I bought it, I found the lyrics annoying and not really funny. Obviously a lot of other people like but I found it frustrating to have wasted the money. My kids prefer it when I put on regular classical music. They (3 and 4) like listening for all the different instruments. The lyrics seemed more distracting than funny (older kids probably "get" the lyrics in a way preschoolers don't).Free Music Review: Great lyrics, mediocre lead singer
Hit: 3 Stars
I cheerfully admit to being more ignorant about classical music than I want to be, so I bought this CD as much for my own edification as for my 4 year-old son's. I thought that the concept of using humor to introduce classical music would really work for my son, as he is constantly singing his favorite songs (over and over and over....).The lyrics are really very funny ("I can Can Can if you Can Can/Can you Can Can?"-- Offenbach's "Can Can"), and sometimes even educational (I might actually memorize the kings and queens of England set to Purcell's "Trumpet Tune"). Unfortunately, Perlmutter's voice isn't particularly melodic, so the CD isn't as enjoyable as I had hoped. So far, we've gotten more use out of the liner notes than the actual CD: I've been reading/sorta singing the lyrics to my son.
I don't regret this purchase, but I am a bit disappointed...I would actually give this three and a half stars if possible. Just listen to all the audio samples (like I should have) to see if Perlmutter's voice gets on your nerves or not.

Warning - do not listen to this for the first time while driving. There is a very serious risk of wrecking your car because you are laughing so hard. This CD is wonderful. It the most creative music I've heard since Tom Lehrer. We have both CD's and listen to them constantly. My kids, 7 and 5, get most of the humor and love every hilarious, wonderful song. Thank you, Richard Perlmutter!!
