Music selection and explanatory texts by Ana Gerhard Illustrated by Claudia Legnazzi
Gnomes, fairies, witches, elves… These fantastic creatures have always stimulated the imagination of children. In this compilation, works by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Verdi and other composers, inspired by ancient legends and superstitions, make classical music familiar to children. Wonderfully illustrated, the book also contains a glossary of musical terms and a short biography of the composers. A string of fabulous characters to discover otherwise! Twenty excerpts from recordings of plays performed by internationally renowned orchestras, including the London Philharmonic, La Scala Theater Orchestra and the Academy of St Martinin- the-Fields.
The introductory texts, the listening guide, and the composer biographies are always well done and accompanied with whimsical illustrations. LE DEVOIR
