Baby Needs MORE Mozart, the follow-up to the chart-topping Baby Needs Mozart, is the latest installment of the very popular Delos Family Classics Series.

This time, the program is designed with gradations in pacing. Beginning with a playful tune from The Magic Flute, Baby Needs MORE Mozart provides a gentle musical bridge between play time and quiet time. Settling into a moderate pace, the program gradually relaxes into the calm of Mozart's great Adagios. The progress into calm and relaxation leads a listener of any age through a series of masterpieces - the "Elvira Madagan" Adagio, the sublime Clarinet Concerto, the Andantes from the Quartet No. 23, and the Divertimento No. 3, to name a few - considered to be some of the loveliest music Mozart's genius ever produced.

Du feines Täubchen, nur herein “In here, my pretty!”
Das klinget so herrlich “That glorious ringing...”
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen “The wrath of hell boils in my heart...”
Seid uns zum zweiten Mal willkommen “We bid you welcome yet again...”
Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen “A pretty little wife...”
Ach, ich fühl’s, es ist verschwunden “Ah, I feel it is gone forever...”
Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen “The man who feels true love...”
Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja “I am the jolly bird-catcher...”
Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schön “Surely no eye has yet beheld such enchanting beauty...”
Wie stark ist nicht dein Zauberton “How strong is your magical tone, dear flute..."
