Early one morning, Peter opened the gate and went out into the big green meadow鈥� and if you know Prokofiev鈥檚 鈥渟ymphonic tale for children鈥�, you鈥檒l already be humming that tune. Age doesn鈥檛 matter with music as enjoyable as this!

With Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth and a charismatic narrator, it鈥檚 a perfect finale to a whole concert of music at its most playful, witty and wise. Aaron Copland salutes a great American statesman, and crams a whole symphony into 15 primary-coloured minutes: a mini-masterpiece from the decade that saw the birth of the 成人快手 SSO. In between, 成人快手 Radio 3鈥檚 New Generation Artist Sterling Elliott sings and sparkles his way through Tchaikovsky鈥檚 delightful showpiece for cello and orchestra.
