Baker; New Philh Orch / Leppard It’s a real pleasure to listen to a speaker who treats the microphone as an intimate friend and the traditional text with respect, managing to do so without drawing undue attention to himself. Baker’s narration, ideally balanced against the orchestra, bears repeated listening.
Philh Orch / Stephenson (dirSuzie Templeton) The score remains intact but the storyline is given a facelift with a grim contemporary opening sequence and some genuinely funny animal antics that make this a captivating experience for children. The film won the 2008 Academy Award for Best Short Animated Film.
Sting; COE / Abbado Sting’s involvement is infectious – one really gets the sense of a dad performing for his kids in his modernised, colloquial reading. Claudio Abbado and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe give arguably the best overall account of the score on disc.
Rathbone; All-American Orch / Stokowski The sound resembles a Tom and Jerry cartoon but, remarkably, this works in the music’s favour. It’s hugely enjoyable, coupled with (narrator-less) performances of Carnival of the Animals (Stokowski), Young Person’s Guide (Sargent) and Jeux d’enfants (Dorati).
