This unique collaboration demonstrates the power music has to unite people.
The pairing of Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf with a new composition by Jean-Pascal Beintus, Wolf Tracks, is the resulting commitment of artists, expert technicians, and world-wide leaders and patrons of the arts of many countries. The project was created by the Russian National Orchestra under the artistic direction of Kent Nagano.
The narrators have each designated a beneficial organization to receive their proceeds: Sophia Loren to The Magic of Music, the innovating program of artistic therapy for youth (sponsored by the Russian National Orchestra), and Antonio Banderas to the Save the Children Federation, Inc. Sales of the CD will also be shared with the Wolf Conservation Center. |
