KIDS/FAMILY: Kid Friendly, CLASSICAL: Traditional
Details:
In a sea of Mozart CDs made for babies, children, and expecting moms, Mozart: Scenes from Childhood is perfect for parents who would like to expose their child to good classical music performed by award-winning musicians rather than a synthesizer that veers away from the organic sounds of instrumentation.
Produced by Grammy Winner David Frost, this joyful CD fills the home with well-loved sonatas and chamber music that can be enjoyed by everyone from babies to parents to music connoisseurs.
Award-winning pianist Angela Jia Kim has been performing Mozart since the age of five, and this album is a snapshot of favorite pieces she played as a child. Mozart has been described as the “eternal child”, and these charming masterpieces exemplify the playful and innocent melodies that appeals to little ones and adults alike.
The CD features the delightful Sonata in C Major, K. 545, the lovely "Alla Turca" Sonata in A Major, K. 331, and the exuberant Trio in Bb, K. 502. Angela is joined by friends and colleagues violinist Sharon Roffman and cellist Julie Albers for the chamber music portion of the album.
• Start the day with lively Mozart in the morning!
• Play joyful music for babies in the womb and newborns
• Inspire creative development for your child
• Create a soothing and uplifting atmosphere for the family
• Expand your child’s awareness of great masterpieces
• Prepare students with “brain” power before tests

Adding to Ms. Kim''s expanding discography, 2006 marks the release of Mozart: Scenes from Childhood, a collection of works to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the composer''s birth.
