I had listened to this (a 33 1/3 record) on a portable record player as a child. Many times, over and over. I’m now 70 and sending this to my 3-year-old grandchild via my son/his father. What a lovely rendition and wonderful animated art. The style of animation resembles the album cover of the version I listened to as a child starting at the age of 6. Thank you New Jersey Symphony Orchestra.

I was scared of this story when I was little, we had it on cassette, but I always loved the music

Randomly searched for Peter and the Wolf and found a video that had only just been uploaded… Fantastic version!

[@chrissagosz9968]

[@nancysikes]

Such a delightful composition…it WAS my childhood! I’m 79 now and thoroughly enjoying this revisit.

At my granddaughter's pre-school today, the children were introduced to Peter and the Wolf via a colorful book and a recorded narration. I'm sending the NJSO link to my daughter to play for my granddaughter. It has everything: Cartoon; Real people playing real instruments; A conductor; Everyone in the orchestra wearing a mask (except the wind players); A flute (I think a 4-year-old would like that); Wonderful music by PROKOFIEV; And a grandpa (that would be me). Missing: Allan Sherman and a commissar.

This is THE CUTEST performance I've ever seen! I will be playing this piece (along with a few others) with the Southeast Missouri State University orchestra tomorrow. This performance has inspired me so much. I love how the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra dressed up the players as their respective characters. That is simply so clever and adorable!

[@emjay2045]

How did it go ?

[@smop]

This is great!

[@em7dim9]

New Jersey rocks! Nice to see such a fine performance coming out of my state.

[@FreiKaufen]

I would introduce kids to orchestra instruments via this performance. It is easy to know some classic instruments while a the tale of Peter and the Wolf is deployed as well, which is a good way to lead beginners.

I'm delighted to see this childhood classic performed by the NJSO, and so imaginatively! Definitely going into my bookmarks.

[@saiovici]

I was looking for Peter and the Wolf for my 1st grader. I was not disappointed. It's extra cool that we are in NJ. Stunning performance!

[@擊麻]

Good

[@georgemcnally4473]

Lovely rendition which myself and my son enjoyed very much. Masks were a bit silly though when large parts of the orchestra are blowing instruments anyways. Still, very nice.

[@amgoen]

Why is the wolf depicted in red?

[@Cool_kid_the_real]

Good question

[@KatherineBroberg]

Why has no one done this as a ballet?
