Mournful and menacing, yet strangely alluring, the eerie song of the wolf is a symbol of wilderness and perhaps the most significant call of all creatures. On this historic recording produced by the American Museum of Natural History, you will hear the mysteriously musical howls, barks and growls of wild wolves. Actor and conservationist Robert Redford also tells the story of the wolf you never knew, debunking some commonly held myths. 1 cassette.

"Wolves are better singers than whales...Redford delivers a splendid narration in their behalf..." -- Stereo Review

Very Special Recording, Great Narration,

This review is from: The Language and Music of the Wolves (A Project of the American Museum of Natural History) (Audio Cassette)
My father bought this recording on vinyl when I was a youngster...I never tired of playing it...the mysterious, lonely, haunting howls of real wolves in the wilderness... Robert Redford's narration is heartfelt and perfect for the subject. He was already a national treasure back then...way before Sundance, River Runs Through It, Out of Africa, Milagro Bean Field War, and all the other more ecology-minded films he's made over the years. This would be great on DVD or in digital through iTunes...

This is a wonderful piece of work! It's really a shame that people today are unlikely to have a way to listen to it! I wish someone would convert it to an MP3 and the film about the Tundra Wolves to a DVD. I work with a wolf breeding center and it would be great to have to play for school kids passing through. The wolf howling is amazing and used to get my Siberian huskies all in an uproarious happy rapture.
