Peter & the Wolf 1 - Narrated by David Bowie (1978)

This is the story of Peter and the wolf.
Each character in the tale is going to be represented by a different instrument of the orchestra. For instance, the bird will be played by the flute. Like this. Here's the duck, played by the oboe. The cat by the clarinet. The bassoon will represent grandfather. The wolf by the French horns. And Peter by the strings. The blast of the hunters' shotguns played by the kettledrums.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.
Early one morning, Peter opened the gate and went out into the big green meadow.
On a branch of a big tree sat a little bird, Peter's friend. "All is quiet, All is quiet" chirped the bird gaily.

HOLY FUCK WE LISTENED TO THIS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Being so young, I didn't really understand that it was THE David Bowie reading it. Now that I'm older and a huge fan, WOW!

Our teacher played this for us in elementary school. I remember being soooo moved by the story and the music! This type of entertainment which feeds on the imagination to flesh out the story is far superior than today's entertainment in which every single aspect of each uninspired story is completely fleshed out by computers. It leaves little to develop the imagination. So sad.
Thanks for posting this.
