Narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley and featuring the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras, the much-loved tale of Peter and the Wolf headlines a disc including Britten's splendid introduction to music, The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, as well as the Dukas favorite, The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
