Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf

This recording of Sergei Prokofiev's popular Peter and the Wolf - captured live in a performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel at the iconic Hollywood Bowl - highlights the Russian composer's enormous gift for colourful storytelling. This magical and dramatic account of the classic tale - brilliantly narrated by Oscar, Emmy, and two-time Tony-winning actress and producer Viola Davis - marked a joyous return to live music after lengthy lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Without fuss or exaggeration', wrote the Los Angeles Times, 'the celebrated actress was on mark with a clever subtle edge. For Dudamel, every instrument, not just the flute/bird, clarinet/cat, bassoon/grandfather, became a living being'.
