Baby Einstein: Baby Galileo

Baby Einstein: Baby Galileo

What Baby Einstein gets better than anybody else in the crowded baby brain-booster category is how to make classical music sound appropriately infantile. "Re-orchestrating" is their term for the technique that so effectively replaces the vague mustiness of Mozart's powdery wig with fresh whiffs of Johnson & Johnson, and no doubt it causes a dust-up among classical-connoisseur parents, but for the rest of us it works brilliantly, this latest installment included. Galileo takes its inspiration from the moon and stars, thus its two-suite split: In "The Day Sky," Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky trot out cloudless symphonies and serenades, "Sleeping Beauty" among them, and "Night Sky" shines a light on Chopin, Strauss, Brahms, Debussy, and Dvorak for twinkly interpretations of "Claire de Lune," "Moonlight," and others. The masters may not be represented at their purest here, but they'll never reach purer ears. --Tammy La Gorce
