Unique, imaginative and colourful, these CDs open a door to a wonderful world that children and parents can discover together.

'Da-da-da-DAAAAH, Da-da-da-DAAAAH': Listen to see if you recognise that music! It's one of the most famous pieces of classical music ever written. There are lots of animals here, too - an elephant and a swan. There is winter snow and autumn leaves. Even a piece to be played at night. There's Rag-time and Can-Can. Guess which boy wizard joins the party… Come and join it too!
