 Product Description
Fans of High School Musical can breathe easy: Based on this soundtrack, the sequel is just as good, and perhaps even better. Though its trailer asked "Are you ready for the start of something new?" HSM2 isn't turning the franchise into The Wire, and really is more of the same--which is, of course, totally fine by us. One of the most energetic tracks is Chad and Ryan's musical/baseball number "I Don't Dance," propelled by a cool big-band swing motif (fans of director Kenny Ortega's choreographic work for Xanadu will be reminded of that movie's mash-up of disco and swing in the "Dancin'" number). Once again Troy and Gabriella get the ballads, but "You Are the Music in Me" is a fine one and doesn't get bogged down in syrup. It also gets reprised by Troy and Sharpay in a rockier and arguably better version. This is typical of the fact that, overall, the bouncier tracks fare best: "All for One" (with its handclaps and surfy guitar licks), the s! ingle "What Time Is It" (the time of our lives, of course!), "Work This Out" (complete with percussive, well, workout). Of course everybody's favorite brother-sister team, Ryan and Sharpay, gets a couple of great vehicles: "Fabulous" and the zany, Hawaiian-flavored "Humuhumunukunukuapua'a," which more than anything else sounds like a tribute to the Disney princess of the 1960s: Annette Funicello. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

I've never seen such an awesome movie in my life!, 03 Apr 2008
All i say is that this is quite possibly the most perfect, surreal movie ever created. Me and my friend Stephen Kane sat and watched it seven times and never got bored. We know all the songs and the words "What time is iiiitt??"
I 100% recommend this movie, it made my life.
A grease but better, 02 Apr 2008
I know people say this is just like Grease The Musical: I find this really annoying there are millions of musicals out there and they pick on this one leave it alone it it brilliant!
My fave songs are:
What time is it
Faboulous
Work this out
You are the music in me (Gabriella/Sharpay)
I don't dance
Gotta go my own way
All for one
Bet on it
I find High School Musical better than High School Musical 2 can't wait for High School Musical 3 Senior Years
Is this album worth it? You can 'Bet On It', 21 Mar 2008
Phenomenally strong album from the young cast of HSM2.
Bet On It is clearly the stand out track, brilliantly performed and sung by Troy (Zac Efron). The whole album is an incredible listen and a must buy for any HSM fan.
Really good mix of songs, great =], 01 Jan 2008
I wasn't really keen on this album at first, having seen the first film and thought it all a bit 'cheesy', but when I turned it on I was quite surprised.
There are some slow songs, like Gotta go my own way, and some more pop songs, like Bet on it, sang by Zac Efron. The songs are all extremely catchy & will be in your head all day long!
A really brill CD, I'd recommend it to anyone
Trouble, 06 Nov 2007
My daughter has taken over my car with this CD. its all we listen to at home, car, garden etc.
I cant wait to watch the HSM on ice .

Fabulous bedtime CD..., 14 Aug 2008
I have a quite a few baby lullaby/nursery rhyme cd's and this is by far the best, it's so soothing and gentle and it's the perfect bedtime music, I cannot recommend it enough, the voices are not irritating and in fact quite the opposite. My 15 month old has listened to this cd since he was tiny, and as soon as the first notes from Twinkle Twinkle come on, he knows it's bedtime...
Just perfect, 17 Jul 2008
Our little girl first went to sleep on her own in the evening at a tender age of 2 months while listening to this CD. The combination of Sophie Barker's perfect-for-the-purpose voice and simple baby-friendly music arrangement is just what the doctor ordered. I now buy this CD as a gift for all my friends having babies, and it never fails.
Never fails to settle my daughter to sleep, 15 Jul 2008
When it's been a long day and my toddler is overtired and fighting sleep this cd never fails to settle her. If she is really resisting we can sometimes get as far as track 17- Row your boat, which is so soothing it almost sends me off to sleep too. I highly recommend this cd to all parents with babies and toddlers and especially the ones that have trouble getting there litte ones off to the land of nod ;o)
Fabulous, 29 Jun 2008
I love this CD and my daughter loves it too! I play it every evening as part of the bedtime routine. The music is wonderful(in my opinion).
My lifesaver!, 26 Jun 2008
This is a truly wonderful collection of peacefully sung well known songs. We stuggled to get our daughter into a night time routine as a baby (don't most first time parents!) and, based on reviews, chose this CD to give us some help. Now, nearly two, our daughter still goes to sleep listening to Sophie Barker's soothing melodies. She has even been known to quietly sing along to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star before heading for the land of nod! It has also proved a life saver when routines have been disturbed (teething, late nights, travelling, temperatures - we've all been there!) A short cuddle and a few of these lullabies always seems to soothe and calm our daughter back to sleep. A worthy buy!

Great CD, thoroughly recommend it!, 18 Jun 2008
Bought this CD after reading the positive reviews and I'm really glad I did. Our 2-year-old girl loves it and despite playing it over and over again we haven't got fed up with it, which is praise indeed!
Disagree with the reviewer who didn't like the male vocalist's voice. I think it's a pleasant change to hear an English accent with perfect diction.
Great opening track which gets our daughter dancing and our feet tapping immediately!
Really not that good or different, 27 May 2008
I bought this album as a result of all the positive reviews. However, I don't agree with them. Yes, there is a very slight 'twist' in that some of the songs start with different beats or musical styles. BUT, the nursery rhymes are sung by two annoyingly 'stage school' sounding singers, particularly the chap. His voice is so irritating that I can't listen to it. Plus they are basically the same as the much cheaper, but much better, BBC nursery rhyme albums I bought.
A waste of money as it isn't really any different. Buy 'Colours Are Brighter' if you want a truly alternative childs album or any of the They Might be Giant CDs.
Lana Nimmo, 16 Mar 2008
It's great and cheerful and our one year old daughter loves dancing to it. It also is the kind of CD that does not drive the parents insane when listening to it again and again. I thoroughly recommend it.
The Best Nursery Rhyme CD, 11 Oct 2007
This is quite simply the best nursery rhyme CD I have heard. All of the songs are really fun and the whole family loves to listen to it. Top marks!
Oxbridge baby nursery rhymes , 29 Aug 2007
We were pleased with this CD. The music is played and sung well, and I can't see it getting on our nerves for quite some time. There is one reviewer who said he was worried that his child would look silly at school because the melodies are so different, but they seem to be quite close to the originals (as I remember them) to me. Anyway, children learn quickly so it wouldn't be too much of a problem. The only drawbacks are the cost of this and the fact that there's no song sheet inside for all those parents who've forgotten the lyrics. On the whole though, worth having.

Oh dear, 03 Sep 2007
I bought this because I didn't remember any nursery rhymes and wanted to sing them with my daughter. It arrived in a double CD case and I thought 'oh good'. Only to find it's one CD of half finished songs. 10 green bottles finishes at 6, Nelly the elephant has no second verse, I could go on. Save your money on this one.
Quantity not Quality, 28 May 2007
I have been looking at the best albums for children and have seen this title is there quite a lot. Well don't be fooled, I have a copy and although there are loads of nursery rhymes on it you really wouldn't want to listen to many of them.
Boring is one word that describes this album. It is a shame that the people who make these kind of things think they can put loads of titles onto a CD and that will make it good, it doesn't!!!
Very Enjoyable, 13 May 2007
I have been enjoying playing this cd to entertain our new baby and particularly like the fact that it came with a booklet of words so I can learn them all!!
Brilliant, 09 Mar 2007
My son likes this and I play it at the mother & toddler group I run. Songs are in various styles and children won't get bored listening. Grown ups would like the songs too, as you even have a 'Tony Bennett like' voice singing one of the songs.

Should come with health warning..., 05 Aug 2008
A few of the tracks on this CD are perfect, beautiful, soft, mesmerising and something Mummy could enjoy too... but I found the majority of tracks incredibly depressing - and thats not what you need after having a baby!!! I wish I'd paid more attention to the track listing and bought something else...
Good music for mothers as well as babies, 14 May 2008
This Classic FM compilation released in 2005 with the intention of relaxing the baby offers a good selection of calming music for babies and their mothers too.
Entirely classical music based - including Einaudi's popular piano piece '(La) Onde' - this is a nice relaxing CD, most of the tracks of which should be familiar to those with only a passing interest or limited knowledge of classical music.
Although now superseded by the more recent 2CD version of 'Classic FM Music for Babies' this still looks good value for an hour of relaxation.
very relaxing, 10 Mar 2008
We bought this CD for our children (6 and 8) to listen to at bedtime.
They both enjoy it, although they aren't so keen on track 2. ("She sounds too noisy and bossy"- 6yr old)
Very relaxing and enjoyable compilation, and a bargain.
Give it time - it works!, 22 Nov 2007
The first track, by Debussey, worked like a charm on my grandson from a couple of months old. Put it on, watch as he turns his head to listen to the music, be prepared to turn the volume down just for that middle section, and he was asleep. Now he is 8 months old it still works to calm him. Give it a couple of repeats and he's asleep - wonderful. And the rest is really nice, too.
excellent for massage, 28 Sep 2006
Fantastic, my dad bought me this for me, I listened to it during my pregnancy and once my little princess was born. it really helped her to sleep.

I've never seen such an awesome movie in my life!, 03 Apr 2008
All i say is that this is quite possibly the most perfect, surreal movie ever created. Me and my friend Stephen Kane sat and watched it seven times and never got bored. We know all the songs and the words "What time is iiiitt??"
I 100% recommend this movie, it made my life.
A grease but better, 02 Apr 2008
I know people say this is just like Grease The Musical: I find this really annoying there are millions of musicals out there and they pick on this one leave it alone it it brilliant!
My fave songs are:
What time is it
Faboulous
Work this out
You are the music in me (Gabriella/Sharpay)
I don't dance
Gotta go my own way
All for one
Bet on it
I find High School Musical better than High School Musical 2 can't wait for High School Musical 3 Senior Years
Is this album worth it? You can 'Bet On It', 21 Mar 2008
Phenomenally strong album from the young cast of HSM2.
Bet On It is clearly the stand out track, brilliantly performed and sung by Troy (Zac Efron). The whole album is an incredible listen and a must buy for any HSM fan.
Really good mix of songs, great =], 01 Jan 2008
I wasn't really keen on this album at first, having seen the first film and thought it all a bit 'cheesy', but when I turned it on I was quite surprised.
There are some slow songs, like Gotta go my own way, and some more pop songs, like Bet on it, sang by Zac Efron. The songs are all extremely catchy & will be in your head all day long!
A really brill CD, I'd recommend it to anyone
Trouble, 06 Nov 2007
My daughter has taken over my car with this CD. its all we listen to at home, car, garden etc.
I cant wait to watch the HSM on ice .
Fabulous bedtime CD..., 14 Aug 2008
I have a quite a few baby lullaby/nursery rhyme cd's and this is by far the best, it's so soothing and gentle and it's the perfect bedtime music, I cannot recommend it enough, the voices are not irritating and in fact quite the opposite. My 15 month old has listened to this cd since he was tiny, and as soon as the first notes from Twinkle Twinkle come on, he knows it's bedtime...
Just perfect, 17 Jul 2008
Our little girl first went to sleep on her own in the evening at a tender age of 2 months while listening to this CD. The combination of Sophie Barker's perfect-for-the-purpose voice and simple baby-friendly music arrangement is just what the doctor ordered. I now buy this CD as a gift for all my friends having babies, and it never fails.
Never fails to settle my daughter to sleep, 15 Jul 2008
When it's been a long day and my toddler is overtired and fighting sleep this cd never fails to settle her. If she is really resisting we can sometimes get as far as track 17- Row your boat, which is so soothing it almost sends me off to sleep too. I highly recommend this cd to all parents with babies and toddlers and especially the ones that have trouble getting there litte ones off to the land of nod ;o)
Fabulous, 29 Jun 2008
I love this CD and my daughter loves it too! I play it every evening as part of the bedtime routine. The music is wonderful(in my opinion).
My lifesaver!, 26 Jun 2008
This is a truly wonderful collection of peacefully sung well known songs. We stuggled to get our daughter into a night time routine as a baby (don't most first time parents!) and, based on reviews, chose this CD to give us some help. Now, nearly two, our daughter still goes to sleep listening to Sophie Barker's soothing melodies. She has even been known to quietly sing along to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star before heading for the land of nod! It has also proved a life saver when routines have been disturbed (teething, late nights, travelling, temperatures - we've all been there!) A short cuddle and a few of these lullabies always seems to soothe and calm our daughter back to sleep. A worthy buy!
Great CD, thoroughly recommend it!, 18 Jun 2008
Bought this CD after reading the positive reviews and I'm really glad I did. Our 2-year-old girl loves it and despite playing it over and over again we haven't got fed up with it, which is praise indeed!
Disagree with the reviewer who didn't like the male vocalist's voice. I think it's a pleasant change to hear an English accent with perfect diction.
Great opening track which gets our daughter dancing and our feet tapping immediately!
Really not that good or different, 27 May 2008
I bought this album as a result of all the positive reviews. However, I don't agree with them. Yes, there is a very slight 'twist' in that some of the songs start with different beats or musical styles. BUT, the nursery rhymes are sung by two annoyingly 'stage school' sounding singers, particularly the chap. His voice is so irritating that I can't listen to it. Plus they are basically the same as the much cheaper, but much better, BBC nursery rhyme albums I bought.
A waste of money as it isn't really any different. Buy 'Colours Are Brighter' if you want a truly alternative childs album or any of the They Might be Giant CDs.
Lana Nimmo, 16 Mar 2008
It's great and cheerful and our one year old daughter loves dancing to it. It also is the kind of CD that does not drive the parents insane when listening to it again and again. I thoroughly recommend it.
The Best Nursery Rhyme CD, 11 Oct 2007
This is quite simply the best nursery rhyme CD I have heard. All of the songs are really fun and the whole family loves to listen to it. Top marks!
Oxbridge baby nursery rhymes , 29 Aug 2007
We were pleased with this CD. The music is played and sung well, and I can't see it getting on our nerves for quite some time. There is one reviewer who said he was worried that his child would look silly at school because the melodies are so different, but they seem to be quite close to the originals (as I remember them) to me. Anyway, children learn quickly so it wouldn't be too much of a problem. The only drawbacks are the cost of this and the fact that there's no song sheet inside for all those parents who've forgotten the lyrics. On the whole though, worth having.
Oh dear, 03 Sep 2007
I bought this because I didn't remember any nursery rhymes and wanted to sing them with my daughter. It arrived in a double CD case and I thought 'oh good'. Only to find it's one CD of half finished songs. 10 green bottles finishes at 6, Nelly the elephant has no second verse, I could go on. Save your money on this one.
Quantity not Quality, 28 May 2007
I have been looking at the best albums for children and have seen this title is there quite a lot. Well don't be fooled, I have a copy and although there are loads of nursery rhymes on it you really wouldn't want to listen to many of them.
Boring is one word that describes this album. It is a shame that the people who make these kind of things think they can put loads of titles onto a CD and that will make it good, it doesn't!!!
Very Enjoyable, 13 May 2007
I have been enjoying playing this cd to entertain our new baby and particularly like the fact that it came with a booklet of words so I can learn them all!!
Brilliant, 09 Mar 2007
My son likes this and I play it at the mother & toddler group I run. Songs are in various styles and children won't get bored listening. Grown ups would like the songs too, as you even have a 'Tony Bennett like' voice singing one of the songs.
Should come with health warning..., 05 Aug 2008
A few of the tracks on this CD are perfect, beautiful, soft, mesmerising and something Mummy could enjoy too... but I found the majority of tracks incredibly depressing - and thats not what you need after having a baby!!! I wish I'd paid more attention to the track listing and bought something else...
Good music for mothers as well as babies, 14 May 2008
This Classic FM compilation released in 2005 with the intention of relaxing the baby offers a good selection of calming music for babies and their mothers too.
Entirely classical music based - including Einaudi's popular piano piece '(La) Onde' - this is a nice relaxing CD, most of the tracks of which should be familiar to those with only a passing interest or limited knowledge of classical music.
Although now superseded by the more recent 2CD version of 'Classic FM Music for Babies' this still looks good value for an hour of relaxation.
very relaxing, 10 Mar 2008
We bought this CD for our children (6 and 8) to listen to at bedtime.
They both enjoy it, although they aren't so keen on track 2. ("She sounds too noisy and bossy"- 6yr old)
Very relaxing and enjoyable compilation, and a bargain.
Give it time - it works!, 22 Nov 2007
The first track, by Debussey, worked like a charm on my grandson from a couple of months old. Put it on, watch as he turns his head to listen to the music, be prepared to turn the volume down just for that middle section, and he was asleep. Now he is 8 months old it still works to calm him. Give it a couple of repeats and he's asleep - wonderful. And the rest is really nice, too.
excellent for massage, 28 Sep 2006
Fantastic, my dad bought me this for me, I listened to it during my pregnancy and once my little princess was born. it really helped her to sleep.
mentioned it to my health visitor and when I enrolled her in massage classes the health visitor had gone out and bought this very same cd. my little girl loved it. still works now for both me and her. best present ever :)
Pure Class, 18 May 2007
How do Disney do it. They seem to have that magic touch with everything they do and this album is no exception. Although my son is only quite young he still loves this album every time I put it on and I have to admit that so do I.
If you have seen any of the films (which I imagine is most of you) then you have to get this album. Time and time again you will be whisked away back to the wonderful world of Disney films and animation. Okay I am rambling but it is a very good album. 5 stars!!!
Reasonably worth it, 23 Oct 2006
This album is great for any fan of disney, no matter how old. I bought this after realizing just how many classic disney songs I yearned to hear again and they are all here. From Aladdin to Cinderella, the Lion King to The Lady and the Tramp, you'll find them all here.
The only thing that I did find slightly disappointing was that a lot of the songs have been re-done by over artists as opposed to the original movie versions. For example, Shaggy's version of Under the Sea from 'The Little Mermaid' is a great disappointment as opposed to the infamous original. The lack of some favourites such as 'I just can't wait to be king' from The Lion King and 'One Jump Ahead' from Aladdin, is also annoying.
However despite this it is a great collection and great for parties and for just having a good time.
Disney Magic for all to hear!!, 18 Sep 2006
This is a great CD for everyone! The songs, though mostly not the same versions that were used in the films, are excellent. Notable examples are the obvious ballads: Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Beauty and the Beast, A Whole New World and Colours of the Wind. But, there are also some really good ones that aren't so famous, from the more low profile films: Can't Help Falling in Love, from Lilo and Stitch, I'll Try, from Return to Neverland, and Someday, from Hunchback of Notre Dame. They are all different, but still great tunes! Another good point is they way they've, for want of a better word, re-mixed certain well known songs, such as Under the Sea, by Shaggy (although admittedly I've heard a somewhat better version by the A*Teens, but there we go!), and He Lives In You, a great version by Tina Turner!
This CD is the perfect Disney compilation. Yes, there aren't as many well-known songs as you'd expect, but most of the tracks are great, and the best Disney songs are here anyway! Also, though with most of the songs they don't use the version in the films, the single versions which they do use are the longer, better tracks! If you're into Disney, buy it! If you're not into Disney, then for one thing I don't know why your looking here, but for another, buy it! it will provide you hours of good listening, and you won't regret it!
All Disney-Lovers: get this cd now!, 18 Jul 2006
If you like Disney, this is an album to get.
I've got it and I've put all the songs on my iPod and they're cool to listen to everywhere. Some are original songs, others are sung by other people but the same song.
I like it but it doesn't have "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2 which is a song I enjoy.

relaxing and tranquil!, 23 Jul 2008
sorry to see that this CD has got a bad review as I think it is wonderful. My son can't go to sleep without it, it really helps him to relax and unwind. I think the fact that it isn't the original version is good, as the tracks are shorter and don't get too loud which is often the case with classical music. I really like listening to it too, I think it is well made!
Fantastic, 22 Mar 2008
Have played this CD at bedtime for my daughter since she was born and have found it very calming, perfect as part of her bedtime routine. I believe that she enjoys the music and has learnt to associate the CD with winding down. I think the CD is a lovely introduction to classical music, with the individual tracks being short and played in a perfect style for little ears. I really recommend it.
nice, easy listening, 27 Feb 2008
i found the CD nice to listen to, never been a gerat lover of classical music but this CD is calming and relaxing. i play the CD at bath time and at night when winding down. my daughter seems to like it as much as her nursery rhymes. i think this CD would be nice to listen to when you are pregnant. i think it is a nice introduction to classical music.
Oh dear..., 22 Feb 2008
None of the music on this CD is as you will have heard it before, sadly it has been ruined and made into Musak or 'elevator music' which I personally find irritating in the extreme.
I've tried playing it through a few of times, hoping that my son might get some enjoyment out of it even if I couldnt, but he seems uninterested and to be honest I'm glad, it doesnt get any better with time and now its gathering dust.
Really disappointed! Stick to the real thing!

We stuggled to get our daughter into a night time routine as a baby (don't most first time parents!) and, based on reviews, chose this CD to give us some help. Now, nearly two, our daughter still goes to sleep listening to Sophie Barker's soothing melodies. She has even been known to quietly sing along to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star before heading for the land of nod! It has also proved a life saver when routines have been disturbed (teething, late nights, travelling, temperatures - we've all been there!) A short cuddle and a few of these lullabies always seems to soothe and calm our daughter back to sleep. A worthy buy!
Great CD, thoroughly recommend it!, 18 Jun 2008
Bought this CD after reading the positive reviews and I'm really glad I did. Our 2-year-old girl loves it and despite playing it over and over again we haven't got fed up with it, which is praise indeed!
Disagree with the reviewer who didn't like the male vocalist's voice. I think it's a pleasant change to hear an English accent with perfect diction.
Great opening track which gets our daughter dancing and our feet tapping immediately!
Really not that good or different, 27 May 2008
I bought this album as a result of all the positive reviews. However, I don't agree with them. Yes, there is a very slight 'twist' in that some of the songs start with different beats or musical styles. BUT, the nursery rhymes are sung by two annoyingly 'stage school' sounding singers, particularly the chap. His voice is so irritating that I can't listen to it. Plus they are basically the same as the much cheaper, but much better, BBC nursery rhyme albums I bought.
A waste of money as it isn't really any different. Buy 'Colours Are Brighter' if you want a truly alternative childs album or any of the They Might be Giant CDs.
Lana Nimmo, 16 Mar 2008
It's great and cheerful and our one year old daughter loves dancing to it. It also is the kind of CD that does not drive the parents insane when listening to it again and again. I thoroughly recommend it.
The Best Nursery Rhyme CD, 11 Oct 2007
This is quite simply the best nursery rhyme CD I have heard. All of the songs are really fun and the whole family loves to listen to it. Top marks!
Oxbridge baby nursery rhymes , 29 Aug 2007
We were pleased with this CD. The music is played and sung well, and I can't see it getting on our nerves for quite some time. There is one reviewer who said he was worried that his child would look silly at school because the melodies are so different, but they seem to be quite close to the originals (as I remember them) to me. Anyway, children learn quickly so it wouldn't be too much of a problem. The only drawbacks are the cost of this and the fact that there's no song sheet inside for all those parents who've forgotten the lyrics. On the whole though, worth having.
Oh dear, 03 Sep 2007
I bought this because I didn't remember any nursery rhymes and wanted to sing them with my daughter. It arrived in a double CD case and I thought 'oh good'. Only to find it's one CD of half finished songs. 10 green bottles finishes at 6, Nelly the elephant has no second verse, I could go on. Save your money on this one.
Quantity not Quality, 28 May 2007
I have been looking at the best albums for children and have seen this title is there quite a lot. Well don't be fooled, I have a copy and although there are loads of nursery rhymes on it you really wouldn't want to listen to many of them.
Boring is one word that describes this album. It is a shame that the people who make these kind of things think they can put loads of titles onto a CD and that will make it good, it doesn't!!!
Very Enjoyable, 13 May 2007
I have been enjoying playing this cd to entertain our new baby and particularly like the fact that it came with a booklet of words so I can learn them all!!
Brilliant, 09 Mar 2007
My son likes this and I play it at the mother & toddler group I run. Songs are in various styles and children won't get bored listening. Grown ups would like the songs too, as you even have a 'Tony Bennett like' voice singing one of the songs.
Should come with health warning..., 05 Aug 2008
A few of the tracks on this CD are perfect, beautiful, soft, mesmerising and something Mummy could enjoy too... but I found the majority of tracks incredibly depressing - and thats not what you need after having a baby!!! I wish I'd paid more attention to the track listing and bought something else...
Good music for mothers as well as babies, 14 May 2008
This Classic FM compilation released in 2005 with the intention of relaxing the baby offers a good selection of calming music for babies and their mothers too.
Entirely classical music based - including Einaudi's popular piano piece '(La) Onde' - this is a nice relaxing CD, most of the tracks of which should be familiar to those with only a passing interest or limited knowledge of classical music.
Although now superseded by the more recent 2CD version of 'Classic FM Music for Babies' this still looks good value for an hour of relaxation.
very relaxing, 10 Mar 2008
We bought this CD for our children (6 and 8) to listen to at bedtime.
They both enjoy it, although they aren't so keen on track 2. ("She sounds too noisy and bossy"- 6yr old)
Very relaxing and enjoyable compilation, and a bargain.
Give it time - it works!, 22 Nov 2007
The first track, by Debussey, worked like a charm on my grandson from a couple of months old. Put it on, watch as he turns his head to listen to the music, be prepared to turn the volume down just for that middle section, and he was asleep. Now he is 8 months old it still works to calm him. Give it a couple of repeats and he's asleep - wonderful. And the rest is really nice, too.
excellent for massage, 28 Sep 2006
Fantastic, my dad bought me this for me, I listened to it during my pregnancy and once my little princess was born. it really helped her to sleep.
mentioned it to my health visitor and when I enrolled her in massage classes the health visitor had gone out and bought this very same cd. my little girl loved it. still works now for both me and her. best present ever :)
Pure Class, 18 May 2007
How do Disney do it. They seem to have that magic touch with everything they do and this album is no exception. Although my son is only quite young he still loves this album every time I put it on and I have to admit that so do I.
If you have seen any of the films (which I imagine is most of you) then you have to get this album. Time and time again you will be whisked away back to the wonderful world of Disney films and animation. Okay I am rambling but it is a very good album. 5 stars!!!
Reasonably worth it, 23 Oct 2006
This album is great for any fan of disney, no matter how old. I bought this after realizing just how many classic disney songs I yearned to hear again and they are all here. From Aladdin to Cinderella, the Lion King to The Lady and the Tramp, you'll find them all here.
The only thing that I did find slightly disappointing was that a lot of the songs have been re-done by over artists as opposed to the original movie versions. For example, Shaggy's version of Under the Sea from 'The Little Mermaid' is a great disappointment as opposed to the infamous original. The lack of some favourites such as 'I just can't wait to be king' from The Lion King and 'One Jump Ahead' from Aladdin, is also annoying.
However despite this it is a great collection and great for parties and for just having a good time.
Disney Magic for all to hear!!, 18 Sep 2006
This is a great CD for everyone! The songs, though mostly not the same versions that were used in the films, are excellent. Notable examples are the obvious ballads: Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Beauty and the Beast, A Whole New World and Colours of the Wind. But, there are also some really good ones that aren't so famous, from the more low profile films: Can't Help Falling in Love, from Lilo and Stitch, I'll Try, from Return to Neverland, and Someday, from Hunchback of Notre Dame. They are all different, but still great tunes! Another good point is they way they've, for want of a better word, re-mixed certain well known songs, such as Under the Sea, by Shaggy (although admittedly I've heard a somewhat better version by the A*Teens, but there we go!), and He Lives In You, a great version by Tina Turner!
This CD is the perfect Disney compilation. Yes, there aren't as many well-known songs as you'd expect, but most of the tracks are great, and the best Disney songs are here anyway! Also, though with most of the songs they don't use the version in the films, the single versions which they do use are the longer, better tracks! If you're into Disney, buy it! If you're not into Disney, then for one thing I don't know why your looking here, but for another, buy it! it will provide you hours of good listening, and you won't regret it!
All Disney-Lovers: get this cd now!, 18 Jul 2006
If you like Disney, this is an album to get.
I've got it and I've put all the songs on my iPod and they're cool to listen to everywhere. Some are original songs, others are sung by other people but the same song.
I like it but it doesn't have "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2 which is a song I enjoy.
relaxing and tranquil!, 23 Jul 2008
sorry to see that this CD has got a bad review as I think it is wonderful. My son can't go to sleep without it, it really helps him to relax and unwind. I think the fact that it isn't the original version is good, as the tracks are shorter and don't get too loud which is often the case with classical music. I really like listening to it too, I think it is well made!
Fantastic, 22 Mar 2008
Have played this CD at bedtime for my daughter since she was born and have found it very calming, perfect as part of her bedtime routine. I believe that she enjoys the music and has learnt to associate the CD with winding down. I think the CD is a lovely introduction to classical music, with the individual tracks being short and played in a perfect style for little ears. I really recommend it.
nice, easy listening, 27 Feb 2008
i found the CD nice to listen to, never been a gerat lover of classical music but this CD is calming and relaxing. i play the CD at bath time and at night when winding down. my daughter seems to like it as much as her nursery rhymes. i think this CD would be nice to listen to when you are pregnant. i think it is a nice introduction to classical music.
Oh dear..., 22 Feb 2008
None of the music on this CD is as you will have heard it before, sadly it has been ruined and made into Musak or 'elevator music' which I personally find irritating in the extreme.
I've tried playing it through a few of times, hoping that my son might get some enjoyment out of it even if I couldnt, but he seems uninterested and to be honest I'm glad, it doesnt get any better with time and now its gathering dust.
Really disappointed! Stick to the real thing!
A Bear Necessity!, 07 Oct 2001
A totally uplifting soundtrack with both well known songs from the film and some quality unreleased additions. The children in my class love marching to 'the elephant song'and track 6 is a great 'tidy-up song'. I couldn't recommend this this varied selection of songs more!
Entertaining, atmospheric music - great for kids of all ages, 03 Aug 2001
My children love this CD. They march to the sound of Colonel Hathi and his elephants, boogie with Baloo the Bear and the Bare Necessities, are mesmerised by Trust in Me (The Python's Song) and swing with Louie the King of the Apes. This CD has kept them entertained on many a long car journey or wet afternoon. The music is timeless and eternally entertaining to young and old alike.

Customer Reviews
I've never seen such an awesome movie in my life!, 03 Apr 2008
All i say is that this is quite possibly the most perfect, surreal movie ever created. Me and my friend Stephen Kane sat and watched it seven times and never got bored. We know all the songs and the words "What time is iiiitt??"
I 100% recommend this movie, it made my life.
A grease but better, 02 Apr 2008
I know people say this is just like Grease The Musical: I find this really annoying there are millions of musicals out there and they pick on this one leave it alone it it brilliant!
My fave songs are:
What time is it
Faboulous
Work this out
You are the music in me (Gabriella/Sharpay)
I don't dance
Gotta go my own way
All for one
Bet on it
I find High School Musical better than High School Musical 2 can't wait for High School Musical 3 Senior Years
Is this album worth it? You can 'Bet On It', 21 Mar 2008
Phenomenally strong album from the young cast of HSM2.
Bet On It is clearly the stand out track, brilliantly performed and sung by Troy (Zac Efron). The whole album is an incredible listen and a must buy for any HSM fan.
Really good mix of songs, great =], 01 Jan 2008
I wasn't really keen on this album at first, having seen the first film and thought it all a bit 'cheesy', but when I turned it on I was quite surprised.
There are some slow songs, like Gotta go my own way, and some more pop songs, like Bet on it, sang by Zac Efron. The songs are all extremely catchy & will be in your head all day long!
A really brill CD, I'd recommend it to anyone
Trouble, 06 Nov 2007
My daughter has taken over my car with this CD. its all we listen to at home, car, garden etc.
I cant wait to watch the HSM on ice .
Fabulous bedtime CD..., 14 Aug 2008
I have a quite a few baby lullaby/nursery rhyme cd's and this is by far the best, it's so soothing and gentle and it's the perfect bedtime music, I cannot recommend it enough, the voices are not irritating and in fact quite the opposite. My 15 month old has listened to this cd since he was tiny, and as soon as the first notes from Twinkle Twinkle come on, he knows it's bedtime...
Just perfect, 17 Jul 2008
Our little girl first went to sleep on her own in the evening at a tender age of 2 months while listening to this CD. The combination of Sophie Barker's perfect-for-the-purpose voice and simple baby-friendly music arrangement is just what the doctor ordered. I now buy this CD as a gift for all my friends having babies, and it never fails.
Never fails to settle my daughter to sleep, 15 Jul 2008
When it's been a long day and my toddler is overtired and fighting sleep this cd never fails to settle her. If she is really resisting we can sometimes get as far as track 17- Row your boat, which is so soothing it almost sends me off to sleep too. I highly recommend this cd to all parents with babies and toddlers and especially the ones that have trouble getting there litte ones off to the land of nod ;o)
Fabulous, 29 Jun 2008
I love this CD and my daughter loves it too! I play it every evening as part of the bedtime routine. The music is wonderful(in my opinion).
