Buena Vista Records makes a splash with the delivery of "Baby Neptune(TM) A Concert for Little Ears(TM)," a mesmerizing classical music experience, featuring composer George Frederic Handel's much-loved "Water Music." The "Baby Neptune" CD arrives March 4, 2003, and complements "Baby Neptune(TM) Discovering Water," which debuts on video and DVD March 18.

The latest addition to the award-winning "Baby Einstein" Company(TM), the "Baby Neptune"(TM) CD highlights the soothing rhythmic tunes of Handel's "Water Music," as well as selections from Handel's "Messiah" and "Royal Fireworks." The disc will also blend timeless compositions from celebrated composers Georg Philipp Telemann, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, all specially re-orchestrated for little ears.

Recent studies, promoted by the American Music Conference (www.amc-music.org), have shown that music can have a very powerful influence on a child's development from the very youngest age. More information about these benefits is included in the packaging of each CD, courtesy of the American Music Conference.
