Author: Edward Greenfield
Madame Prokofiev—with her tangy mixture of accent, best-described as Franco-Russian—has many memorable lines too. She is particularly fine, snarling the word ''wolf'' for the first time, and like Previn she conveys no self-consciousness, addressing a child-listener straight, with no adult patronising at all. Though interpretatively the two versions are so radically different, choice might be left to preference of coupling. Jarvi's reading of a compilation of eight movements from the two Cinderella Suites (''Introduction''; ''Quarrel''; ''Pavane''; ''Cinderella and the Prince''; ''Three Oranges''; ''Southern Countries''; ''Orientalia and Amoroso'') is even more warmly persuasive than Peter and the Wolf, bringing out the sensuousness of much of this music. As in earlier records in the SNO/Jarvi Prokofiev series, the playing is rich and brilliant.
As on his earlier EMI version of Peter and the Wolf with Mia Farrow as narrator (ASD2935, 12/73—nla), Previn has the Britten
The Telarc recording for Previn and the Chandos for Jarvi are both very vivid indeed, both with rich, full instrumental sound set firmly within helpfully reverberant acoustics, only occasionally less than ideally clear. Unlike many other versions, both of these have the narrations well-balanced against the orchestra, not distracting you with a different studio acoustic. The Telarc CD has only four tracks, which will make it easy for a child to operate, but indexing is generous with 19 points marked for
