Audiophile Music Cd's besides Baby Einstein?

I don't have any reccomendations for you, but that's very, very sweet! Good luck with the little one, and make sure he doesn't poke your tweeter.

Try this one. It's not classical, but you both will love it: Jason Falkner "Bedtime with the Beatles"

--very soothing lullaby versions of Beatle tunes.
They make it with two cover options: pink and blue.

My baby at the time (she's 16 now) loved classic rock.
She use to bounce on her butt and clap whenever I played tunes.(like I did at concerts) :~)
Your baby at just over 2 weeks old wont being doing any bouncing but in time you will see a very positive reaction he has to music.
I'd say 'play what daddy likes'
BTW,my daughter hates classic rock/modern rock now.
She's a hip-hopper.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations on your new addition -- even better than a new pre-amp! :-)

I don't have a recommendation on a specific recording, but our daughter always loved Saint-Saens "Carnival of the Animals" when she was young. Another great primer for young people to gain appreciation of classical music is the soundtrack to "Fantasia" (and it's not a bad recording either). Someday he can watch the movie with you, too.

Have fun.

Congratulations...music is excellent and enjoyable for all at this stage. Something that is played over and over again will become very memorable to both the child and parents and invoke many pleasant memories. Of all the "children music" I have tried, the following remain family favorites. They have very nice sonics and are very well chosen compilations. Classical: Mozart for Mommies and Daddies http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=1702953. International: Welcoming Children Into the World http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000JRM0/qid=1109188866/sr=8-1/ref=__1/103-4837532-8822256?v=glance&s=music.
