Editorial Reviews

From Parents' Choice®

Storyteller and classical pianist Catherine Kautsky paints pictures for the mind in her performance of Francis Poulenc's L'histoire de Babar, with the words of author Jean de Brunhoff; Jon Deak's musical adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island"; and Erik Satie's whimsical, very eccentric "Childish Small Talk," "Picturesque Child's Play," and "Games and Diversions." Uneven sound levels mar this unusual, often evocative album. A Parents' Choice Approval. (Lynne Heffley, Parents' Choice, 1999)
