Prokofiev - Peter And The Wolf (Theme) - Philharmonic Symphony of London, Charles Gerhardt

In 1936, Sergei Prokofiev was commissioned by Natalya Sats and the Central Children's Theatre in Moscow to write a new musical symphony for children. The intent was to cultivate "musical tastes in children from the first years of school". Intrigued by the invitation, Prokofiev completed Peter and the Wolf in just four days. The debut on 2 May 1936 was, in the composer's words, inauspicious at best: "... [attendance] was poor and failed to attract much attention".

The first concert performance of the work outside Russia was by the Dublin Orchestral Players under the direction of Brian Boydell on 9 June 1942 in Dublin, Ireland

Hello! Once again I attempt to join in a daily audio challenge, hopefully I will do better this time. The first song I'm going to talk about is 'R.E.S.' by Cardiacs. I fell in love with this band last year, and am enjoying my trek through their back catalogue. Hope you like it too! #Octaver16 #Cardiacs #Music

In this episode of #octaver2016 #octaver16 slandi proves once more that, try as one might, it's impossible to shoehorn 60+ min of music into 10 min.

I was thinking about what to do and if I was going to get time to do it. Well, I did get to doing it and it's here. Thought of what Sassy
Cat would like or listen to and along that train of thought I ended up stumbling across a couple of tunes from the past and decided to see if they could co-exist on the Deserted Island. So I mashed them up. Bobby Dylan and Jann Ardant. the Bobby D song is a rendition from a tribute album. If I find her name I will add it along.

"One day in Berlin ... Eno came running in and said, "I have heard the sound of the future." ... he puts on "I Feel Love," by Donna Summer ... He said, "This is it, look no further. This single is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years." Which was more or less right." - David Bowie
