Description
Source: 1992 CD
Note: This CD rip consists of three concertos, or sections, if you will: 1) Peter and the Wolf narrated by David Bowie (tracks 1-13) 2) Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra (tracks 14-33) 3) The Nutcracker Suite (tracks 34-41) Many people claim this compilations is best suited to teach children classical music appreciation but it is certainly well-suited for adults who love music and the arts. Well, perhaps this version of Peter and the Wolf is best for "modern children" because at the story's end the wolf is not slain but placed in a zoo. Sorry for the spoiler if you were not familiar with this classic tale. -Big Papi   By A. Richards I remember being introduced to the idea of classical music telling a story with Peter and the Wolf many, many years ago. As each character in the story appears, its theme (and the instrument playing it) is introduced. Then the story takes over and builds to its climax and resolution with just the right amount of fright and humor for 2-4 year-olds. Peter is clearly presented as a child who is disobedient and mildly punished for it, but then he is also brave and resourceful in fixing the situation he has caused. Finally is also merciful to the wolf (although he does put the wolf in a zoo, if that really bothers you). So the story has some subtle hints at morality without it being too oppressive. In this CD version, the narration is clear and the pacing seems very adequate for even 2 year-old's attention. They often ask to hear it again, and they love the picture book I bought to go with it - see another review. They know all the instruments names, and can identify the characters just from hearing the music. Sharing Widget |
