A journey to Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf

Sara Mohr-Pietsch with an exploration of musical connections that lead to Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch with an exploration of musical connections that lead to Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. It was composed in 1936, a children's piece set against the backdrop of Stalinist Russia. We hear music based on fairy tales, other classical pieces for children, and music inspired by animals - ending with the classic recording of Peter and the Wolf with David Bowie as narrator, with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy.
