Peter and the Wolf

Synopsis

Matthew Hart has taken Sergei Prokofiev’s ever-popular piece for solo narrative voice and orchestra and made a delightful children’s ballet, danced in this studio recording by pupils from the prestigious Royal Ballet School, with the great Anthony Dowell as the Storyteller/Grandfather. Hart’s choreography and Ian Spurling’s designs give a contemporary feel to the traditional tale of the boy who saves his animal friends from a wolf. There is a captivating simplicity to their highly entertaining production.
