Buyer Reviews : Bernstein's comments and his way of narrating the first two pieces (Carnival of the Animals and Peter and the Wolf) was a wonderful way to add to this grand music. I was surprised by his free approach to the music. If you want to hear more of him, Copland's Second Hurricane has him narrating. It's not that great musically though (the Copland). The Britten piece is a favorite for the Children's Special on my local radio station, WGMS 103.5 in DC, along with the other two. Yes, this is a good CD to buy for you and your children. It also features a couple of soon to be hit players such as the acclaimed Paula Robison on the flute. Bernstein had good tastes when it came to picking musicians who are all between the age of 13-23.
