classics for children/carnival of the animals-hugh downs/boston pops

a simply delightful recording of this classic-I heard a portion on the radio and just had to add it to my colection after having seen the new ballet adaptation by christopher wheeldon and john lithgow; each version enhances the other! August 10, 2008

Great Teaching Tool!

I am a middle school general music teacher, so when it came time to teach my students the instruments of the orchestra, this was a GREAT help! The narration helps students remember characteristics of each instrument. I definitely reccomend this CD to any other music teacher, whether instrumental or vocal. November 29, 2007

Exciting performance

This was one of my favorite record albums when I was young. It was a pleasure to introduce to my grandchildren. MOST important is the narrative that starts each track. Many of the other versions do NOT include this. They were my most favorite memories, and the children still resond to them today. April 15, 2007

A no - brainer

Simply, the best. The best performances, the best sound, the best narration. The best. 'Nuff said. April 16, 2002

Great Fun

The other reviewer is off base. If you don't want narration get a recording without it. With narration or not, Saint-Saens chose his animals and gave his musical interpretation of their appearance. Children can enjoy the verses although Hugh Downs does not have as much fun with them as some narrators. This is a great CD if you want to develop a child's interest in classical music.
