An awesome display of technique as well as musicality. The Toccata was considered unplayable when it was written in 1935, and only recently (in the last 10-12 years) has guitar technique caught up with it. Very good sound.

Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf
My son was home today and he asked me to play this...
Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf, Op. 67, narrated by Sting Overture on Hebrew Themes, for orchestra, Op. 34b Symphony No. 1 in D major, Op. 25 'Classical' March in B flat major Op. 99 'Military March' Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Claudio Abbado Here is what Gramophone says about this disc: "Abbado and the multi-talented Sting offer a lively and beautifully crafted account of Prokofiev's ever popular Peter and the Wolf. Any fears that the original freshness of Prokofiev's creation may be lost in favour of a less formal approach are soon dispelled – Sting is an effective and intelligent storyteller capable of capturing the imagination of adults and children alike, and there's never a feeling of contrivance or mere gimmickry." The recorded sound is excellent and we both enjoyed it. |

Carlos - If I recall correctly, you've had that recording for quite some time.
