Synopsis

Album Description
NPR Classics latest release Peter and the Wolf: A Special Report is an innovative CD creating an All Things Considered NPR News broadcast . The CD features All Things Considered hosts Robert Siegel and Linda Wertheimer narrating the updated story of a little boy named Peter. NPR reporters and correspondents including Ann Taylor, Sylvia Poggioli, Daniel Schorr and Susan Stamberg file clever "news reports." In addition to the Prokofiev classic, the CD contains Benjamin Britten's The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra narrated by Bob Edwards and Scott Simon along with other NPR personalities, and Saint Saens' Carnival of the Animals narrated by Lisa Simeone. Music performed by the Virginia Symphony, JoAnn Falletta, conductor, with contributions from the Virginia Chamber Players and the Virginia Arts Festival. All great fun!

Fun for kids and adult NPR listeners

(4 out of 5 stars)

"What a fun version of Peter and the Wolf! My 5 yo daughter loves it for the story and the music, and my husband and I love it for those reasons as well as the humor of having the story presented by our favorite NPR anchors, and commentators. The first time my husband heard it I put it in the CD player in the car secretly and "turned on the radio". He quickly turned it up as he listened to the story, becoming very engrossed and confused by what was going on in the news. My daughter and I could not stop laughing. He eventually "Got it" and we shared several laughs throughout the piece. It makes a great gift for NPR fan."
A must-have for NPR fans

"This delightful rendition of Peter and the Wolf stars your favorite reporters from Morning Edition and All Things Considered. It recounts the story of Peter and the Wolf as if it were a late-breaking report from the Balkans! The wonderful addition of the "Young Person's Guide..." and "Carnval..." makes this a treasure for parents introducing their children to serious music (and a secret pleasure for the parents themselves)."
Great Album
