5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful music!, February 8, 2005

My 3 year old loves listening to the story and music of Peter and the Wolf. Each animal is represented by an instrument. Peter is the violin, the bird is the flute, the cat is the clarinet, the duck is the oboe, Grandfather is the bassoon, the horn is the wolf, and the drums are the hunters. When my son hears the different sounds he loves identifying the characters. The other music is lovely and it's great to listen to in the car. I highly recommend this CD.

These two CDs are filled with very interesting and quite charming works for a very decent price! Although not all of these recordings are the best ones available, all of them are very well played, making this album an absolutely enjoyable collection, for children from 1 to 92!
