Babies love Bach


They do! Especially when it's as soft and soothing as this lullaby album (just in at Pomegranate). New mom and Portland pianist Lori Henriques realized that her quiet piano practice would lull her baby to sleep, so she recorded this lovely album of classical pieces that she specifically chose for their soothing qualities. It's beautifully modulated – no jarring crescendos or sudden crashes. I like it so much better than the traditional lullabies; a cd you can put on every night as baby gets ready for sleep (and you'll all like it). Might be just the perfect thing for a relaxing massage, too. Wake me up later, please.
