Peter and the Wolf CD for a 4 year old

[Daverz]

I liked an old Peter with Sir Ralph Richardson (the Supreme Being in The Time Bandits), but it might be a little staid for a 4-year old... and it doesn't seem to have made it to CD in any case.

Don't forget Babar the Elephant and Tubby the Tuba.

See my first post in this thread. the second disc I posted is the one with Richardson. I rather liked this version as a kid - he is a good story teller. But I had a similar thought, which is why I suggested that Sting might be a modern alternative (one I would think he might think of as cool).

I think I'm getting prematurely senile.  I've had a CD with the Richardson Peter for decades, obviously the earlier incarnation of the one you posted, but just forget about it.



The couplings are really more about children than for children.

...and 'Sparky and the Talking Piano' is also great. It was this (and a few other things) that really got me interested in learning to play

I have yet a different cover too, so I guess there were several incarnations. I liked the couplings, though the current version has more chocies that are appropriate for kids on top of these.
