A CHILD'S CELEBRATION OF CLASSICAL MUSIC
1999
"A Child's Celebration of Classical Music" is not only of superior quality, it caters to the
interest of kids without dumbing down the music. Beginning with the lively Boston Pops
Orchestra rendition of "In the Hall of the Mountain King," this collection draws the listener
into worlds created by orchestral majesty, powerful buildups, and exquisite narrative . Meryl
Streep's buttery tones preface Ravel' s magically ru-
minative "Sleeping Beauty" and Carol
Channing is simply marvelous in her telling of the giggle-inducing yarn of "Gerald McBoing
Boing," as set to strings and drums, cymbal clashes, and horn accents. David Bowie provides a
distinguished narration to Prokofiev's nearly-30-minute-long "Peter and the Wolf" suite, a
classic which still thrills and delights audiences half a century after the composer's death.
Throughout, children will delight in distinguishing the wide array of instruments and the
sounds they represent. 1. In The Hall Of The Mountain King - Boston Pops 2. Sleeping Beauty - Meryl Streep And The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra 3.
