Another volume in Decca's lifestyle classical music series, For Your Dreams features restful, occasionally romantic pieces like Mozart's "Adagio Non Troppo From Flute Concerto in G" and {"Romanza (Andante) From Horn Concerto No. 4."} Delibes' {"Dome Epais le Jasmin (Flower Duet),"} Handel's "Menuet From Water Music Suite in D/G," Beethoven's "Violin Romance No. 2 in F," and Tchaikovsky's "Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet" are some of the collection's other gently melodic highlights. Of course, the album is appropriate for occasions other than going to sleep, but For Your Dreams does make an especially nice bedtime soundtrack. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
Of course, this album is appropriate for occasions other than going to sleep, but For Your Dreams does make an especially nice bedtime soundtrack. Just add a soft bed and fluffy pillows to complete the scene. Restful sleep is assured with the quiet collection featuring works by Schubert, Schumann, Mozart and more.
—Terrence London
Soft beds, fluffy pillows, restful sleep. Whatever your dreams, sensuous and tender music can be your perfect soundtrack. All you have to do is dream.
