Search - Drostan Hall" "Dorothy Hall", Munro Leaf, Alan Ridout :: Ferdinand & Friends

Drostan Hall-Violin Dorothy Hall- Narrator Lyudmila Lakisova-Piano Douglas Johnson-Double Bass David Cunliffe-Cello This album is especially designed for children and features the famous classic story of Ferdinand the Bull by Munro Leaf. The story is set in Spain and little Ferdinand prefers to sit under his favorite cork tree smelling the flowers rather than fight like the other little bulls. The story has been set to music by Alan Ridout and is written for solo violin and narrator. This is a charming rendition of one of the best loved children's stories. The most famous selections from the Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saens such as "The Swan" and "The Elephant" are also included along with favorites such as "The Flight of the Bumble Bee" and "The Laughing Violin". This album also offers some amusing poetry from Ogden Nash's Zoo to accompany the musical selections. An absolutely delightful album for children of all ages.
