Publisher's Summary
Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) had a lifelong attraction to children's stories. By far the best known of all his music inspired by children's literature is Peter and the Wolf. Prokofiev was asked to write a piece that would introduce young audiences to the workings of an orchestra and its instruments. Peter and the Wolf showcases the composer's superb ability to bring a simple story to life, giving each character a recognizable motive and instrumental color.
The story is about the young boy Peter who, together with his friend the bird, manages to catch a hungry wolf who has come to his garden, looking for food and chasing all the animals, including a duck whom he manages to swallow. After the wolf has been caught with a lasso, hunters arrive, intending to shoot him. Instead, Peter proposes to bring him to the zoo, and the hunters, Peter, his grandfather, and the animals form a procession to deliver the wolf.

New favorite version of this children's classic
Sophia Loren does a great job narrating the story. I love how expressive her voice is throughout. This will be the version I listen to going forward.
The music sounds fine. When I listen to Peter and the Wolf I listen primarily to the performer, the orchestra is secondary since they all play the piece well.
It is the story I remember, no changes there. Poor duck.
Previous favorite versions were the Sean Connery reading and the Disney version read by Sterling Holloway (the original Winnie-the-Pooh).

Sophia Loren, always charming.
Sophia does her always wonderful job in telling this story. Her narration adds perfectly to the story. I also grew up on the Disney version. I think this is close to its equal.

This is GREAT!
I remember listening to this in music class when I was little and I loved it so much. Now that I’ve found it again, I listen to all the time! I think it’s very calming at night.
Sophia Loren did a very good job, but I prefer the Disney version.
