A vivid popular image of Beethoven is the master shaking his fist at the heavens, but in actual fact no one in the history of Western music has better expressed utter joy or deep repose. Baby Needs Beethoven is an excellent way to introduce the gentler side of this master to people of all ages.

This release explores all aspects of Beethoven's more introspective work, with music from his symphonies and chamber works to the solo performances for piano. The pieces chosen may be familiar to many, but there are a few lesser-known gems that will be of interest even to the Beethoven connoisseur.

It's time for Beethoven to be recognized as an important part of the young-of-age or -spirit's musical curriculum. Baby Needs Beethoven is an excellent place to start!
