Prokofiev: Peter & the Wolf
Sergey Prokofiev, Mario Rossi, ...

Musical Concepts, 2006

Definitive Version
Glad to see that this is back in print. As a little boy, I had the record (unfortunately misplaced) and played it until the grooves were worn. Boris Karloff's narration and the Vienna Orchestra sound spectacular on this CD, though. Hopefully my five year old will ...
  
  











  



  
Tales from the Greek Legends (Junior Classics)
Edward Ferrie

Naxos Audiobooks, 1995

Great music and classic tales well told.
I bought the Tales of the Greek Legends for my children when they were only 5 and 7. They are now 14 and 16 and they still love these stories. I highly recommend this version of the Greek Myths.
  
  











  



  
David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf"
Benjamin Britten, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

RCA, 1992

Symphony fun for kids
Peter and the Wolf is a great way to get the kids to listen to classical music. It's fun and very entertaining.
  
  











  



  
Medieval Christmas
Joel Cohen, Boston Camarata

Nonesuch, 1991

Deeply Endearing
I was 7 years old and excited as all get out for Christmas when my stepfather brought this album into our family, and it immediately became a classic. This is by far my favorite music to listen to during christmas time. While carols become slightly stale as you grow ...
  
  











  



  
Bernstein Favorites: Children's Classics
Benjamin Britten, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

Sony, 1991

No kindermusic nonsense
Best 4 dollars spent in my entire life. My 4 yr-old son absolutely loves this CD (in the car, he begs to listen to 'Benjamin Britten's drums' again and again -such whining is music to my ears!). Bernstein's narration is charming, though occasionally his explanation of ...
  
  











  



  
A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols
King's College Choir, Stephen Cleobury

EMI Classics, 1999

Don't let this recording pass you by!
Do yourself a favor and buy this CD - even if you don't think you like Christmas music. People stand in line for hours to hear the Choir of King's College's annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, and when you hear this recording, you will understand why. Rarely ...
  
  











  



  
Peter and the Wolf / Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra / Carnival of the Animals
Benjamin Britten, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

RCA, 1994

This is the one you're looking for!
We took our children to the Santa Cruz Symphony's production of Peter and the Wolf. Since the concert, they have been very interested in this classical music collection and listen to it regularly. We purchased this CD and the book "Peter and The Wolf" by Vagin ...
  
  











  



  
A Renaissance Christmas / Cohen, Boston Camerata
Joel Cohen, Boston Camerata

Nonesuch, 1991

Simply one of the best Christmas albums on the market.
There is nothing to criticize on this CD, along with its wonderful companions, Medeival Christmas and Baroque Christmas. The singing is absolutely masterful; the instrumentation is faithful to what would've been used during the time period for additional authenticity. ...
  
  











  



  
Children's Favorites
Johann Sebastian Bach, Paul [composer] Dukas, ...

Vox (Classical), 2000

A Wonderful Introduction to the Classics
With total playing time clocking in at 78:04 minutes of music, you'll be paying about 6-cents/minute, which is a better bargain than long distance phone calls, and often more rewarding! This disc is far superior than most other "Classics for Kids"-type recordings ...
  
  











  



  
UltraSound - Music for the Unborn Child
Johannes Brahms, Frederic Chopin, ...

RCA

Soothing sounds for unborn baby
This product is wonderful and i would recommend it to anybody who is expecting a baby. It can be used also later on when the baby is born of course so it is a never-ending beautiful piece of music.
  
  











  



  
Peter & The Commissar
Allan Sherman, Spoken Word, ...

Collector's Choice, 2004

A "must" for any Allan Sherman fan
I first heard "Peter and the Commissar" when I was a teenager and my cousin played it for me. She had found it among a collection of Boston Pops LPs her parents had. Having been brought up in the Cold War era and being a pop culture buff, the jokes were hilarious to ...
  
  











  



  
BRAHMS: Edition - Complete Works
Bo Skovhus, Gunther Leib, ...

Brilliant Classics, 2008

Definitely a COMPLETE EDITION!
A wonderful CD collection indeed! I have bought all of the Brilliant Classics Complete Collections and have not been upset with any set. The only thing I didn't like about this set (and only because I can compare with my others), the information was on the outside ...
  
  











  



  
Prokofiev: Peter And The Wolf/Saint-Saëns: The Carnival Of The Animals
Sergey Prokofiev, Camille Saint-Saens, ...

Sony, 1990

Memories
As soon as I got home from the post office I popped the CD in my system, and instantly was taken back to my junior high school days when I used to listen to this album at home in my room, pretending I was conducting the orchestra. I'm a happy camper!
  
  











  



  
Bernstein Century - Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique, etc.
Hector Berlioz, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1999

BERNSTEIN + BERLIOZ = CONFUSION
Leonard Bernstein recorded the Symphonie fantastique three times over a relatively short period: 1963, 1968 and 1976. The first two, with the New York Philharmonic, were for Columbia Records (CBS/Sony), the third try was with l'Orchestre national de France for EMI. He ...
  
  











  



  
Jean-Yves Thibaudet ~ Debussy - complete piano works, vol. 1
Claude Debussy, Spoken Word, ...

Decca, 1996

Superior recordings and performances
The Penguin Guide to CDs and DVDs has Thibaudet's sets of the complete Debussy solo piano music at the top of the digital recordings, and this is certainly high quality. We have several recordings of the Preludes and some other works, but there is nothing to come ...
