{"product_id":"ondrej-lenard-peter-the-wolf","title":"Ondrej Lenard- Peter \u0026 the Wolf (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe pianos open the work in a brief introduction that seems to suggest the roar of the lions, before the Royal March begins, with it's suggestions of the exotic in it's theme. Hens and Cocks are as true to nature as the composer can make them, followed by Wild Donkeys of unexpected rapidity of motion, in contrast to the lumbering Tortoises, who offer a can-can at the slowest possible speed, putting a foot wrong here and there. The Elephant is naturally represented by the double bass in an episode that includes a direct quotation of the highly inappropriate Ballet of the Sylphs by Berlioz. The pianos alone then imitate the capricious leaps of the Kangaroos, to be followed by an evocation of the Aquarium. People with Long Ears, critics, are portrayed by piercing whistles and the braying of donkeys, while pianos and clarinet bring in the Cuckoo, followed by the rest of the aviary, with the help of the flute. The Russian composer Sergey Prokofiev wrote his Peter and the Wolf in 1936 to introduce to children the instruments of the orchestra. He had taken his two sons to see performances at the Moscow Children's Music Theatre and this had suggested to him the possibility of a composition of this kind. The boy Peter, represented by the strings, is playing in the meadow, forbidden territory. A bird, shown by the flute, sings in a tree: a duck, the oboe, swims in the pond, and a cat, the clarinet, comes onto the scene, sending the bird up to a higher branch. Peter's grandfather, the bassoon, warns the boy not to venture out, but meanwhile a wolf, the French horns, comes into the meadow, chases and swallows the duck whole, and lays siege to the cat and the bird, both now up the tree. Peter tells the bird to distract the wolf, while he catches it with a rope. Hunters then approach, their guns shown by the drums, and help to carry the wolf off to the zoo in a grand procession, with the duck still quacking inside the wolf and grandfather still complaining.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Introduction And Royal March Of The Lio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Hens And Cockerels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Wild Asses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Tortoises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: The Elephant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Kangaroos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: People With Long Ears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: The Cuckoo In The Depths Of The Woods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Aviary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Pianists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Fossils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: The Swan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnival Of The Animals: Finale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: Peter In The Meadow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Duck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: Grandfather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: Peter Does Not Listen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: Grandfather Takes Peter Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Wolf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Cat Climbs The Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Duck Jumps Out Of The Pond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Wolf Swallows The Duck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Cat And The Bird In The Trees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Wolf Prowls In Wait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: Peter Takes A Rope And Climbs The Tre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: He Tells The Bird To Distract The Wol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: Peter Catches The Wolf With A Lasso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Wolf Tries To Escape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: The Hunters Approach With Their Guns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: Peter Suggests They All Take The Wolf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: They All March Together, Peter, Then\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter And The Wolf, Op.67: And After Them Grandfather, Complaini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra, Op. 34 (Variations An\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra, Op. 34 (Variations An\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra, Op. 34 (Variations An\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra, Op. 34 (Variations An\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra, Op. 34 (Variations An\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra, Op. 34 (Variations An\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986635444445,"sku":"730099549929","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/126789.jpg?v=1762931349","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/ondrej-lenard-peter-the-wolf","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
