    Oh dear, just heard on Essential Classics: Peter & the Wolf with the NY Phil conducted and narrated by Bernstein

    Anyone knows that the only person who should narrate it was Richard Baker! Harrumph.

    I always wondered: what did happen to the poor wolf at the zoo? No doubt they chopped him up and fed him to the lions and leopards

      Divertimento in D major for Cello and String Orchestra arranged Piatigorsky???

        That completes the set. I assume that you are eager to set the next puzzle.

            Caught a bit of that, pretty dire

            Still impressed by your D work
            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      I wish this were correct (maybee it will bee) but just for fun: we're not talking about the sadly truncated Eric the Half-a-Bee, are we?

                          It seems to fit with three more Eric(k)s:

                          Satie: Furniture Music
                          Wøllo: Ceramics
                          Idle: Eric the Half-a-Bee

                            Yes, Satie wasn't idle when he composed his muzak. But it isn't Wøllo.

                            It's this sort of tableware: (I've been dying to use this picture of Caliban as a baby!)



                            p.s. It's not a composer or a piece
