Stardust Lullaby

Today's featured company:
Stardust Lullaby

A little more about them:
Cher & Gene Klosner, whose music has been recorded by The von Trapp Children and performed by several symphonies (including the Omaha Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Toronto Symphony, and the Cincinnati Symphony, conducted by the legendary Erich Kunzel), wanted to educate young ears by recording as many authentic instruments as possible, rather than using all synthesized “instrument sound-alikes" that are prevalent on many children’s recordings.

“I remember as a child the first time I heard Peter and the Wolf– I fell in love with the musical instruments and how they could tell a tale and bring the story to life,” says Cher. “After my son was born, singing and playing lullaby music became part of our ‘night-night’ routine but I became frustrated in discovering that very few lullaby CD's used any real instruments – most used all synthesized instruments that, unfortunately, lack the human touch, feel and emotion that comes from a real instrument and a live player. Out of that frustration came the idea for Stardust, in which we utilized authentic instruments wherever possible including grand piano, cello, flute, violin, oboe, clarinet, vibes, acoustic guitar and more.”

Some examples of what they do:
Stardust is an award-winning, 2-disc lullaby collection for all ages, featuring rich, lilting female and male vocals and authentic instrumentation performed by symphony, conservatory and jazz players (none of that annoying synthesizer stuff that you find on most kids CDs). Stardust is getting fantastic reviews from highly respected Children's Music Reviewers, such as Phil Corless, "A Family Runs Through It," Stephanie Mondrut, "Hear It, Love It, Share It" (April 10) and many more. The cover artwork is by Emmy-Award winning animator and artist, Ben Lane.

I couldn't get the clips to play so I'll have to go back later, but I enjoyed hearing How Pretty The Moon on the opening page. So pretty and very relaxing.

I love Baby Mine no matter WHAT CD it's on... but I think this is a wonderful concept!

Baby Mine has always been a favorite. I love this rendition. However, my 2-year-old loves singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It's the first song she's actually sung the words to instead of just holding some long, flat notes.

[Courtney]

Baby Mine from Dumbo because I remember my mother singing it to my sister.

[Lindsie]

My favorite is Count your Blessings!
