The recording is stellar, the narrators engaging, the message one of hope and harmony.” So read one of the reviews when our charity recording of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf and Beintus’ Wolf Tracks was released in 2003. We assembled a dream team: two world leaders (Clinton and Gorbachev), a screen legend (Sophia Loren), and the magnificent Russian National Orchestra, with whom I have enjoyed a long and rewarding association. All gave their talent, and their heart, to a work of art that is at once timeless and in the moment. Our desire for harmony, and our hopes for our children, has never been more heartfelt and urgent than it is now”.
