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.

To listen to this programme (using most smart speakers), just say: "Ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Music Map."
