Good for colic! Chinese songs in regional dialects., October 8,
2002
This soothing album is so beautiful and calming that it was one of
the few that our daughter would fall asleep to consistantly during her
first twelve weeks when she had colic. Even now, as our daughter is six
months old, this album is still her favorite for sleeptime. The music is
simply enchanting and features lullabies from different provinces in
China.
I would like to add, though, for those of you interested in having
your child be exposed to the Chinese language, that because the cd
features songs from all over China, most of the songs are not in
Mandarin, but in provincial dialects. All that aside, it certainly can't
hurt for a baby to be exposed to several different dialects, but be
aware that this cd won't be part of your "learn to speak Chinese"
collection. |

Outstanding!, October 5, 1999
This is a gorgeous and mesmerizing CD! It doesn't matter if you
understand Chinese or not, the hypnotic effect of the choir transcends
any language. The music is minimalist and wisely so; allowing the beauty
of the Beijing Angelic Choir (a fitting name, by the way!) to take
center stage. The only slight criticism I can make is that the CD might
be a bit repetitive for some tastes. However, I love it. At the very
least, it is great "background" music for studying, painting, or just
relaxing. At the most, it makes for some of the best music I've heard
for some time.

Don't Pass This One Up, March 7, 2006
What a beautiful CD! I listen to it over and over. It is so peaceful
and relaxing and you don't even need to have a baby or child to own this
CD. You will definitely want to add this to your collection. |

Chinesse Lullabies-Beijing Angelic Choir, September 14, 2005
I sent this for my adopted, niece to ease her transition into our
western, culture. Thought it would make her surroundings a bit more
familiar. Although it was meant for my infant niece, seems my sister &
brother-in-law could'nt wait to listen. They enjoyed it so much that
they immediately installed it on their i-pod(tm). I had occasion to hear
it myself when I went to help decorate the nursery. The voices are so
soothing...universal in their lulling effect...angelic to the point of
being ethereal. I would highly, recommend this disc for parents of any
cultural, origin. Even adults will feel at peace listening to these
heavenly voices. |

good for both baby and adults. My little nephew loves it and he falls
asleep to it right away. |

Truly angelic - great music for YOUR little angel!, August 14,
2005
This is a beautiful lullaby CD & will definitely lull your little one
off to sleep in no time... Very relaxing and beautiful. The tracks do
all sound a little the same, but I guess that's good in a way because
the CD never really "breaks" - it just flows from track to track, like
one big symphony. This is a great way to expose your little one to other
cultures and music. Highly recommend. |
