Peter and the Wolf

An audio fairy tale, written by the great Russian composer Sergey Prokofiev, was created to introduce children to the sounds of the symphony orchestra. For each character, there is a different instrument and musical theme. Prokofiev composed the text for children in 1936 by commission from Natalia Sats—the director of the Moscow theatre. She was considered a co-author and a wonderful reader of “Peter and the Wolf.”
