[David Bowie Narrates Disney's Peter And The Wolf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va8Uz6MoKLg -- Enjoy -- I heard this played by the Detroit Symphony at a Children's Concert many years ago when my kids were little. Kind of scary, as I recall. 9A]

Sergei Prokofiev's brilliant compositions are numerous and varied, but Peter and the Wolf is definitely the most evocative and delightful. I listened to many adaptations of this famous work, including editions read by Sting, David Bowie, and Basil Rathbone. I also watched the 2006 Oscar-winning stop-motion animated film, which inspired me as well.
