For Our Children Too
For Our Children Too
The 1996 follow-up CD to For Our Children packs less romp and more hush. Although the stellar lineup includes Celine Dion, Seal, Faith Hill, Natalie Cole, Cher, Luther Vandross, and others, For Our Children, Too is really a lullaby album and its predecessor is a party record. There are more ballads, more R&B singers, and more arrangements mired in overproduction. That said, if you want a gentler collection of songs, this might be your first choice. Seal turns in a poignant rendition of “Puff the Magic Dragon,” while Natalie Cole’s “Both Sides Now” shows how universal that old Joni Mitchell classic really is. James Taylor and Carly Simon’s memorable hit “Mockingbird” is also featured, along with Cher doing a predictable interpretation of “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from Cinderella. Celine gives “Brahm’s Lullaby” her trademark Dion treatment and Luther Vandross turns the protest anthem “If I Had a Hammer” into a moving meditation on peace and equality. Did someone say this music might be too sophisticated for kids? Still, it’s for a great cause. –Martin Keller

Lullabies Of Latin America
Lullabies Of Latin America
Lullabies Of Latin America
This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com’s standard return policy will apply.Gifted with a gracefully pliant midrange soprano, stellar recording artist Maria Del Rey here turns her attention to lullabies and to an immersion of culture and language with Latin American poems adapted and translated for this purpose. Del Rey delivers the first half of Lullabies of Latin America in the gently fluid tones of Spanish, then follows up in the second half with a repeat of the same songs sung in English. Del Rey’s cello, piano, and acoustic guitar figure prominently, and she is also accompanied by a talented group of musicians on percussion, strings, flute, and oboe, as well as on Peruvian harp, panpipes, and other traditional Latin American instrumentation. “Duerme Clave” and its English counterpart, “Sleep Rosie Flower,” are particularly engaging, featuring soft piano and elegant lines of Spanish classical guitar. “San Augustine” and its correlation are gorgeously slumber-inducing duets. With their unhindered capacity for linguistics, wee ones will be sweetly singing along with both versions in no time. –Paige La Grone

Miracle
Miracle
In collaborating on Miracle, Celine Dion and her partner in baby love Anne Geddes carefully sidestepped the L-word–a smart move, considering that the songs captured here, despite their electric-blanket warmth, aren’t always lullaby-like in their delivery. Though the collaboration is about babies–the liner notes to this CD provide a sneak peek at Geddes’ visual wizardry available in both the expanded box set and book–Miracle is not necessarily for them. Which works out great for Celine fans who have made contact with their maternal sides. More than anything, the disc plays as a valentine to new mothers: “Le Loup, La Biche et le Chevalier (Une Chanson Douce),” “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” and John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” get the trademark melt-away vocal treatment, causing the need to keep a box of tissues at the ready. While tenderness flows from each track as consistently as formula from a baby bottle, though, the chanteuse doesn’t shy away from the passion and note-pounding that are also her trademarks. Thus, the miracle of Miracle lies not in its ability to soothe the tiny creatures it swollen-heartedly celebrates, but in its ability to set the sentiments of listeners who love them to song. –Tammy La Gorce
