Sergey Prokofiev wrote Peter and the Wolf in 1936 when he attended the opening of the Moscow Children’s Theater Center. He wanted the work to be educational and entertaining for children, so he took a well-known Russian folk tale and set the piece to music. Each of the story’s main characters is represented by an orchestra instrument. To make it even more palatable for children, he used a narrator to make the whole experience more like listening to a story told with musical „images.” Many well-known artists and actors have recorded the work.
However, this album has the distinction of being told by the great Lauritz Melchior, the greatest Wagner tenor of his time. He was also known as a show talent in addition to his serious opera career.
