Debussy's "Clair de lune" is especially lovely as conducted and fluted by James Galway, and Leontyne Price is a warm blanket of comfort giving voice to Schubert's "Ave Maria."

"I bought this CD when I was 4 months pregnant with my first baby, Irene. From that time on, every single day, I would religiously listen to the music and let my baby listen to it, too(through earphones taped to my tummy.) Now that Irene is 4 months old, we both still listen to it frequently, and her response to the music is as if she knows the songs by heart! I believe it has also made my child more attentive and intelligent as a baby, even as a newborn. I love this CD, and will treasure it as one best purchases I made for my daughter and for myself."
Very soothing, pregnant or not!

"We purchased this CD with the intention of using it for relaxation during natural childbirth using the Bradley method. That didn't work out so well... (that's another story!)But, I found this CD very relaxing during the pregnancy and we use it just as often now in the nursery. Just a nice selection of classical tunes."
Play in utero, sooths out utero

"My wife put the headphones from her portable CD player on her pregnant belly every night before bed. "Ultrasound" played for 30 minutes to an hour every night to our unborn son. Once he was born he'd sometimes get cranky in the car. We'd turn this CD on and he'd INSTANTLY settle down. It was amazing. He's 15 months old now and it still calms him down after a frustrating car ride, and he goes down for naps like a champ with this CD playing. I HIGHLY recommend this technique to all pregnant mothers!"
A great way to start your baby's life

"There is a wonderful mix of heartwarming, light and happy and mind-moving music on this CD. I've found the music to be perfectly soothing as I read and relax with my growing child. I hope the baby is enjoying it as much in utero as I am in my life.
By the way, what a clever title!"
Wonderful and soothing!!
