David Bowie - Peter And The Wolf (Limited Edition Numbered 180g Red/Gold Vinyl)

180 gram audiophile vinyl + insert packed in sturdy PVC bag. Only 1,500 copies numbered and pressed on Red/Gold vinyl.


David Bowie Narrates Sergei Prokofiev’s 1936 composition Peter And The Wolf, originally released in 1978, with the music  performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy. The album reached number 136 on the US Pop  Albums chart.Side One contains the narration by David Bowie of public domain material originally written by Prokofiev.  The second side of this LP features Eugene Ormandy conducting Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide To The Orchestra  with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Ormandy and the aforementioned musicians from Philly also back up Bowie on side one.Critics  lauded the album, saying Bowie ‘found his most charming guise since Hunky Dory.’ He tells the well-known fable with his usual  eloquence and style, and gives instructions at the beginning for kids to understand how the music corresponds to characters in  the story. The accompaniment from the Philadelphia Orchestra is first rate.

The Music On Vinyl re-release includes detailed liner notes on the project by Mary Campbell, specifically geared to “introduce 

children to the sounds of the individual instruments in the symphony orchestra.”Both Prokofiev and Britten wrote their respective 

pieces with this aim in mind.

Released by Music On Vinyl Cat: MOVCL011.
