Dear all,


I happened to see these classical music cds in CD-rama. Do anyone of your recommend which of the 3 to buy??

Anyone bought? Any recommendation??

Hello i3mum,

Can't see the CDs, too blur. My ds has 2 favourites, Tubby The Tuba and Oscar The Piano. They're excellent. Her piano teacher gave it to her but she bought from UK. you can check out HMV at Heereen and if they don't have, see if they can order for you. That shop has many other classicals for kids too.

The SSO has a version that you can get for around 10 bucks but it's not as good. It introduces kids to the diff musical insruments.

Fantasia 2000 is a cartoon with a lot of classical music, the NLB has copies.

hope this helps!

I don't like it. It's boring.

I do like individual composers in 1 CD, featuring the most famous works of each composer.

Oh, and if you can find Saint-Saens' Carnival of Animals, that's great too.

Benjamin Britten has a piece called Introduction to the Orchestra. And of course the Saint Saens. You can try searching thru Amazon, quite a selection of DVDs. It’s good for children to get the visual as well so that they can associate the instrument to the sound. As for CDs, there are plenty of selections to choose from. Get popular classics selection to start with.

Hi Faun,


I saw from Amazon website:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Tubby+The+Tuba+&x=0&y=0

Which one will you recommend? AS for Oscar the Piano, I tried to search from Amazon, but there's any that is suitable for kids.

Do you have a picture to show me?

Sorry, no pics to show. Actually I don’t have compilation albums of popular classics. I’m a professional musician/teacher so majority of my albums are either from a particular composer or performer or orchestra.
