Antonio Vivaldi was one of the masters of the Baroque Period (1600-1750). His works are among the most recognizable pieces in the classical music repertoire. Baby Vivaldi is a selection of some of his best-loved melodies, including "The Four Seasons," played by The Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra . . . that is to say, four instrumentalists! But play they do with infectious fun and a sense of the joy that characterizes much of this composer's work. It is a perfect choice for babies and the very young, who will delight in the flights of fancy, the runs, the trills, and the cadences that make Baroque music seem so reminiscent of celestial choirs accompanied by celestial sewing machines. Plus, no excerpt is over 2:30-an important consideration where wee attention spans are concerned.
