No Prokofiev recorded anthology would be complete without a performance of Peter and the Wolf, and here the narrator comes in the person of Lina Prokofiev, the composer’s widow. Recorded for Chandos when she was nearly ninety. The disc is completed with a number of shorter pieces, all associated with poetical works by Alexander Pushkin.
Sergey Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf, Op. 67
I am going to tell you a story about Peter and the Wolf…
Early one morning Peter opened the gate…
Suddenly, something caught Peter's attention…
Just then grandfather came out…
No sooner had Peter gone than a big grey wolf came out of the forest…
And now, this is how things stood: the cat was sitting on one branch…
In the meantime, Peter, without the slightest fear
Just then, the hunters came out of the woods
Now, just imagine the triumphant procession
