180 Gram Vinyl, Speakers Corner Audiophile Reissue

Both Saint-Saëns's Carnival of the Animals and Prokofiev's symphonic tale Peter and the Wolf are introduced by the roaring and screaming of the inhabitants of London Zoo. Each character and animal is given a characteristic theme presented by a particular instrument, narrated with wit by Beatrice Lillie. These two masterpieces combine humor with education, beloved by children and adults alike — performed by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Skitch Henderson.
