Classical Childhood
One of the missing links between childhood and adulthood that gets missed. Like Wagners. "Ride of the Valkyres" or Tchaikofskys "1812 Overture" it's in the class of not just for adults who think this is sophisticated music.
Solid Recording
First, I have to say that I disagree with several reviews here complaining about the audio quality or mixing. This is well recorded and well mixed. I can only imagine that the problems reported are some combination of equipment used and/or people have just gotten used to the heavy dynamic compression used on radio broadcasts and prevalent on most contemporary pop albums. I detected no audible distortion from recroding on the CD. I actually felt that the the audio engineers were on the conservative side with this recording.
In fact, conservative very much describes this recording as a whole. Nagano and the orchestra were very safe with their interpretation. I did not find anything to be objectionable, but I also did not feel that any risks were taken either. Stewart's reading also was on the conservative side, though I would not categorize it as bland. My main complaint would be that the included album literature was on the limited side. Yes the text to Peter and the Wolf is there, but there is not much else.
Peter and the Wolf
Delightful...I was given the records at the age of 4 and was delighted that they are out in CD's bought them for all my grandchildren and one mfor me too.
