{"product_id":"prokofiev_peter_and_the_wolf","title":"Prokofiev: Peter And The Wolf","description":"\u003cp\u003eProkofiev: Peter and the Wolf is a live recording by the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, with narration by EGOT-winning actress and producer Viola Davis, released on 22 May 2026 via Deutsche Grammophon digitally and on 1LP vinyl. The album forms the second part of a two-release project celebrating Dudamel's 17-year tenure as Music and Artistic Director of the LA Phil, following a digital release of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet on 13 February 2026. Across 15 tracks running approximately 27 minutes, it presents Prokofiev's Op. 67 symphonic fairy tale, recorded live at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, produced and engineered by Dmitriy Lipay and Alexander Lipay, and also available in Dolby Atmos. The vinyl edition features original artwork by visual artist Alexandra Grant, and a limited-edition bundle including a framed signed art print was made available exclusively through the Deutsche Grammophon shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter and the Wolf (1936) assigns each character in the story — Peter, the bird, the duck, the cat, the grandfather, the hunters, and the wolf — a distinct instrument or instrumental group, and Dudamel's interpretation draws out those timbral personalities with particular vividness. Deutsche Grammophon described his conducting as allowing \"each instrument to become a tangible character in the story,\" while Davis's narration was praised for its \"clear, incisive tone and great expressiveness.\" The recording presents Davis's voice in close dialogue with the orchestra, making the work, in the label's words, \"both an orchestral work and a lively radio play.\" The project marks one of Dudamel's final major recordings with the LA Phil before his departure as Music Director at the close of the 2025–26 season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53641652633914,"sku":"38595","price":43.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-06-23_at_11.25.23_AM.jpeg?v=1782228509","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/prokofiev_peter_and_the_wolf","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
