Customer Reviews

Better than the Naxos version4
This version of Peter and the Wolf is much better than that in the usually excellent naxos collection. The narration by Peter Ustinov is far superior to that of the irritating Edna Everage in the naxos version, who talks over the orchestra at each opportunity and refers to listeners as "possums". If you want Peter and the Wolf, get this cd instead. The other naxos children's cds that I've heard are very good except for Peter and the Wolf. I haven't heard Carnival of the Animals in the naxos collection, but I don't need to now as it is also on here so you get 2 for 1 as well. The Toy Symphony by Leopold Mozart is also on here so excellent quality and excellent value.

Musical wonder5
The narration by Sir Peter Ustinov is absolutly fantastic, this is a true masterpiece, the musical score paints a thousand images as the story unfolds.
Highly recommended

Cover ok, hope music ok - 5
As it was a gift, I did not hear this interpretation but sent it on.
Of course I know and love the piece.
