Leonard Bernstein had a knack for turning folks onto great music. Several generations of Americans had their first exposure to the classics through his legendary Young People's Concerts on television. The secret to Bernstein's success was that he never talked down to his audiences, no matter how young they were. You can hear this in the conductor's narration of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, which is charmingly sincere and unaffected. Own this performance on this beautifully presented vinyl recording and hear for yourself.
