| | Anyone who has seen the concert or listened to it on record or CD will attest to the power of the music. | | | But one of the great things about the Peter and the Wolf album (and symphony) is that the music and the voice-over (which can presently be found as narrated by David Bowie) is how great it is as an introduction to classical music. | | | The Peter and the Wolf symphony by Sergei Prokofiev is one of the most amazing combinations of form and content in the world of music. |

| | Peter and the Wolf is my favorite piece of music from my childhood, and I was quite pleased when someone gave me this CD for by birthday this year. | | | The first piece on this disc is Sergei Prokofiev's 'Peter and the Wolf', a musical tale written for children. | | | The music is excellent, and Patrick Stewart's narration is wonderful, but the recording level on the CD is so low that you must turn the volume up much farther than normal to hear it. |

| | And the music is not only refreshingly unamplified but also lilting and sweet, and mated with enjoyably goofy lyrics (co-written by Gregory and Mann) about "beady wolf eyes" and such. | | | A little jazzy here, a little tango-y there, the songs and backup tunes he devises are bouncy blendings of oboe, flute, piano and percussion (with a touch of accordion). | | | For a children's theater company in Moscow, the famed Russian composer quickly (and happily) whipped up a musical folktale for young listeners. |
