Designed for infants and toddlers (1 to 36 months), Baby Bach is a nicely produced video that features recognisable, familiar toys and colorful objects, moving to the beautiful music of Johann Sebastian Bach. According to the video producers, "Bach's music has shown to enhance creativity, improve academic achievement, reduce anxiety and heighten mental awareness." Any parent will embrace this theory. Not only did this video completely captivate a 22-month-old for its entire 30-minute run-time, but it's easy on the parents, too. The images are lively, clean, and sharp, and producers The Baby Einstein Company have a firm handle on what interests babies and toddlers. The extraneous segment with two pretty little blonde girls is silly, but forgivable. Given that most children elect to watch a video repeatedly, this is one that parents won't mind in the slightest. The music, available on CD, is simply lovely. --N.F. Mendoza

Summary: Good, but not the best
Comment: Of the composers DVDs in the Baby Einstein range, Baby Mozart could be considered as the groundbreaker, while Baby Beethoven could be considered as the best. This one doesn't really take the concept forward, and some of the ideas are very similar to Baby Mozart. Bach's music can be a little "mechanical" at times, but the use of the Brandenburg Concertos is wonderful, and the "winter scenes" will captivate a young audience. I would just about give this four stars, but wish that a more spectacular piece of music (such as the Fugue of Toccata and Fugue in D minor) than the Goldberg Variations had been used to end the DVD.

Summary: Dreadful
Comment: A friend told me she'd weened her daughter onto chocolate by using chocolate buttons. This DVD is the TV equivalent: train your children to sit vegetable-like infront of the TV screen. My children DO watch some TV, but at least the DVDs they have encourage them to sing and dance. Baby Bach had my 3 year staring glassy eyed and my 9 month old totally disinterested. I was horrified at the format: mother's hand making "tomy" and fisher price toys (blatant advertising) work to music--any baby would get 100% more stimulation by their real carer showing them real toys they could explore and talking about them. Above all an incredible rip off--for the price this is less than 1/2 hour of entertainment. Sorry did i say entertainment? i mean mind numbing dullness.

Summary: more baby einstein magic
Comment: My daughter loved baby Mozart from about 8 weeks old. When she had not grown bored of it by aged 2 I finally got around to buying baby Bach and baby Beethoven. They are both excellent and she loves them at least as much as Mozart. Thank you to the baby einstein company. They are the only things that still keep her routed in one spot for a full 25 minutes! The puppet shows are excellent and I'm sure a key factor in their fascination to little ones is the many different 'ear catching', often high pitched sounds that catch a little one's attention.

Summary: I must agree with the first reviewer
Comment: my son loves baby Mozart, baby Van GOAT ect. he hates baby Bach he turns away and moans until it is changed to another DVD. The Baby Einstien series is on the whole excellent but this DVD is just not as good as the others. It lacks thought and design. It is a great shame as I was hoping and expecting so much more from this great series. Maybe Disney finally got their say next the puppets will be Mickey and Donald

Summary: child development
Comment: Baby Bach originated from America. I first found out about it from my sister as she lives there.My niece and nephew both watched it from newborn and It has enabled them to have access to a rich source of stimulation. Both children have been futher advanced than their peers developmentally which may be a coincidence...
I am now using it with my own newborn. At first it was watched in short 5 mins sessions -now she is able to watch it daily and she is only eight weeks old! She is alert, interested in the world around her and is already making excellent progress in vision and her resposes and also,in her early language aquisition.
I would highly recomend this product as a add on to daily activities .
