David Bowie narrates Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf & The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra

Hugh Downs (narrator), David Bowie (narrator)

Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy

David Bowie's disarmingly charming narration of the Prokofiev wears its years remarkably well. Ormandy and the Philadelphia are sympathetic partners and relish the virtuosity of the Britten.
