Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” conducted by Kent Nagano published as an audiobook (November 2020)
In connection to the World Children’s day, PENTATONE is delighted to announce the release of its most important classical music children’s album as audiobooks.
Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf
Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, in which a young boy catches a wolf and brings him to the zoo, is arguably the most famous children’s story with classical music. Once designed to introduce young audiences to the workings of an orchestra and its instruments, it showcases the composer’s superb ability to bring a simple story to life, giving each character a recognizable motive and instrumental colour. This Grammy-winning recording was made in 2003, as a charitable work for orphanages, performed by the Russian National Orchestra under the baton of Kent Nagano. We are now releasing the English and Spanish versions as audiobooks narrated respectively by star actors Sophia Loren and Antonio Banderas.READ MORE
