BNY Mellon Grand Classics: Storybook Favorites May 5, 2011

Leonard Slatkin, conductor; Hila Plitmann, soprano; TBD, narrator. Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf; Del Tredici: Final Alice. Audience favorite Peter and the Wolf usually tells the story of a young boy, his animal friends and an evil wolf, with the instruments of the orchestra portraying different characters. However, in this tongue in-cheek adaptation, the classic story is changed to reflect modern times. Final Alice is based on the last two chapters of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and is sung by soprano talent Hila Plitmann.
