Maestro Tonie

The London Symphony Orchestra recordings are gorgeous, and the way each instrument gets its own moment made my kids actually ask questions about the music instead of just tuning out. Best car-ride peace we've had in months.

My six-year-old is genuinely fascinated by Duncan Ward's explanations between the pieces, and the orchestral sound quality on this is impressive for a kids' audio toy. Only wish the track list on the box was more detailed, but the content itself is solid for a first classical music intro.

The conductor's explanations are clear enough that my five-year-old actually asked to replay the London Symphony tracks on the way to school. Only wish the segments were a bit longer before moving to the next piece.
