When I teach my 6-8 aqnd 9-12 year old music classes, I love using this to see if the kids can guess from a list of characters which each one is. Awesome version!

@KCJazzKeys That's an excellent way to get kids excited about this kind of music :) it's certainly what made me like this piece!

[Flutist11]

I like Bernstein's voice :)

I wonder who is the flutist... Julius Baker?

[BreakingSocrates]

@Flutist11 I think Bernstein's voice is wonderful :) I wish I had a way of finding out the answer to your question!

[taylorconscious]

I listen to this almost daily.

[BreakingSocrates]

@taylorconscious That's awesome :)

Oh I have been looking for this for a very long time! I have the original record... but it's wonderful to hear it online - this version isn't as scratchy as my record. Leonard Bernstein's is the best version I've ever heard. :-) Thank you for posting!

I have and love this album. My sister and I used to listen to it ALL the time when we were kids. It is AWESOME!!

Great interpretation by Leonard Bernstein! Superb piece by Prokofiev! Great memories from childhood too :)

[henrietta898]

@taylorconscious Ahh I do too, I'm addicted. I listen to it before I go to sleep :)

AHHH....my childhood comes alive!! Yes, I too had the record as a child....It had pictures with it and I was forever captivated!!! To this day, this is one of the most magnetic pieces to turn a youngster on to the world of music and it's ability to bring prose to LIFE!! Peter's theme is my ringtone!!!

i had this recording on a 12-inch vinyl disc when I was a kid - I am so happy someone posted this! I loved this symphony then, and can't wait to share this with my kids tomorrow!

all I remember about the piece is that when I was about 6 or 7 we had a copy and the wolf on the cover gave me nightmares.

@Flutist11 Paula Robison plays the flute on the Bernstein recordings.

@Cruiserfrank OK, I will ! It's way better than this version with some dude talking over the music ! I don't care if it's the Bernstein Bear's.. I just want absolute music ! Anyways. I don't think Prokofeiv wrote the score so that some arrogant music know-it-all could blab over it ! Good bye !
