About
Prokofiev's symphonic fairy tale has enchanted generations of children and led many of them to discover the sometimes intimidating world of classical music. The idea was as simple as it was ingenious: to personalise each role with an instrument. The oboe, the bassoon and the horns remain inseparable from the duck, the grandfather and the wolf. Another precious asset of this music is the unique melodic sense of the Russian composer... Combine the liveliness of the story, the great effectiveness of the orchestration and the important role of the narrator, and you have a recipe for success!
