Description
A special 20th anniversary edition of a Naxos bestseller - the iconic 1997 recording of Peter and the Wolf, famously narrated by Dame Edna Everage. Packaged in a commemorative slipcase, with a bonus sticker sheet for children. “Using her own enthusiastically expanded version of the original commentary, Dame Edna Everage is sure to draw any young possum into the world of the orchestra. Her exuberance offsets any twee moments, and the Melbourne Orchestra illustrate vivid instrumental descriptions with splendidly alive and colourful playing. The Naxos recording is excellent and, with its highly enjoyable couplings, this inexpensive triptych is warmly recommendable.' – The Penguin Guide
