"Leonard Bernstein did a spectacular job in the narration of Peter and the Wolf. I remember when he did Young Peoples' Concerts many years ago and he made classical music come alive for children."

"Bernstein's comments and his way of narrating the first two pieces (Carnival of the Animals and Peter and the Wolf) was a wonderful way to add to this grand music. I was surprised by his free approach to the music."

"I actually listened to this CD, and what I was most impressed with was Bernstein's narration. Music is of cource very good. I just wonder if this recording is identical to SONY's quite similar title under "Bernstein's Century" series, which is rated 5 stars."
