In the family-friendly tale Peter and the Wolf, Peter meets a collection of cheeky animal characters, including a rascally wolf, an unlucky duck, a clever cat, and a delicate bluebird.

The musical education of young listeners was in mind when Sergei Prokofiev composed this renowned score back in 1936. Throughout this imaginative retelling, each musical instrument represents a character: Peter is represented by the strings family; the delicate bluebird follows the notes of the flute; and the stealthy wolf is portrayed by the French horns. The cat moves in tune with the clarinet; the oboe and the duck are a perfect match; and the lovable Grandma moves steadily to the sound of the bassoon.
