CD: Celtic Lullaby

Parents around the world seem to know instinctively just how to speak and sing to their children at bedtime to help ease them to sleep. We use universal patterns of rhythm and timbre, melody and harmony.

Imagine having one of the world's finest classical musicians sitting at the foot of your child's bed playing guitar, using those very same patterns to coax your child into irresistible sleep. Ricardo Cobo does just that. With loving attention to every detail of composition and performance, Ricardo has handcrafted what may be one of the most effective lullaby recordings ever made. In fact, it has been clinically tested and shown to be 40 percent more effective than traditional lullabies.

Guitar Lullaby has received awards from the American Library Association and the Parents' Choice Foundation. It was chosen as a "Pick" by Gramophone magazine for being one of the finest new classical recordings. It includes instrumental repertoire from Spain, France, America, Cuba, and South America.
