Patrick Stewart does a good reading of Peter and the Wolf. While not as "dramatic" as some of the other renditions I've heard, he still speaks clearly and keeps the reader's interest. Orchestra did a good job as well. Recommended!
It's in very good shape, as I was hoping, since it's a Christmas gift for my brother who has fond memories of listening to Peter and the Wolf as a child.
