Flawless performance

"When I got this cd I was very displeased that is was a nickolodian production. Then I listened to it, and I now stand by this recording as the best recording of these pieces available. I own quite a few. Just to name a few I consider this to be better than : James Levine/Orchestra of St. Lukes, The one with Patrick Stewart, the one the BBC orchestra did, and the one with David Bowie. This one is by far the best recording to date of these pieces"

A Day at the Circus

"This is a must have in children's music. It is beautiful and amazing to hear the BSO play music that sounds like the circus in the "Carnival of the Animals" selections. And as an added bonus there is an explanation of an orchestra for young ones! I learned about this CD in my 1 year old's kindermusik class and have been searching for it ever since. Thanks Amazon.com!"

My Son Loves It

"I have a four year old, and I've heard this recording at least 50 times. The orchestra is great and Hart's narration is very well done. My son has danced this piece for us many times and I'll always think of it fondly. This "Peter and the Wolf" is a great way to keep away from the overproduced, low-quality, sticky sweet nonsense that's sold as music for small children."
