Peter and the Wolf - FEMALE narrator (not Loren)?
Andreas Eibach
the world, I think a _female_ narrator with PatW is really a special thing,
because it's scarcely seen.
The only "material" recording known to me is the one featuring Sophia Loren
("Are you sitting comfortably?").from about 2003.
However, the version I have on ... erm ... MP3 starts with a simple "This is
the story of Peter and the Wolf."
The narrator is so perfect in English pronunciation that I could think of
her having read CNN news in a former life. :-)
So who could this be? The length is about 26'48''.

Thanks. As I was sure about! There's only _a handful_ of women who narrated
this in English.
And er ... Dame Edna? For real? So it's 3 women, as the latter is not a real
one, is it ;-)
Seriously though, this would indeed give a nice spice on the story.
Maybe I can get this too. Must check this out. Heehee :-)))
Although I cannot see "her" appearance visually.

Besides, it's really an enthralling thing to collect this stuff.
Albeit it's always the same story and music, the way of narrating and
building up the story is always a different way.
(BTW there appears to be a historical version with Boris 'Mr. Scary Movie'
Karloff! Must try to get this as well)
Speaking of historical film actors like Karloff, the collection of all these
versions will keep their _voices_ alive, even if they pass sooner or later.
(or have already passed).
Yehudi Menuhin was an excellent violin player. But would you be able to
recognize a classical music piece as "Yes, this is played by Yehudi". Bet
you wouldn't. But as soon he starts narrating a tale like this one, you will
initially recognize him with his typically smooth Israeli accent.

I know this isn't the answer, but since everyone else is listing female
narrators: I believe it was Sumi Jo who narrated Peter and the Wolf on
the Korean version of Nagano's Erato recording.
I'm not sure how to judge the diction...

with female narrators:
1) Natalia Satz's recording (in Russian) conducted, IIRC, by
Rozhdestvensky. She used to direct the Children's Theater for which
Prokofiev wrote the work. History buffs know she was the wife of
Marshall Mikhail Tukhachevsky, who was shot on Stalin's orders. Satz
herself survived the concentration camps.
2) Lina Llubera Prokofieva (Prokofiev's first wife) recorded it in
English, conducted by Jarvi, for Chandos. Although she was advanced in
age by the time she made this recording, she is an alert narrator and
her English is flawless, though a bit accented (she spoke many
languages -- I think she was Spanish by birth). Mrs. Prokofiev also
survived the concentration camps.
These were two brave women.

Beatrice Lillie narrates a fairly well known recorded performance (26'00).

In Dutch there is Mies Bouwman, quite an iconess over here.

(Or it's just me who can badly determine this from the audio :))
Sounds *definitely* British to me.

OK, I did it.
Here's the
And as all the experts are gathered 'round at the moment, I also put in the
Portuguese version.
In the latter version, I must say that the strings are playing "slightly"
WRONG.
It is just me or do you also hear some "oddities" with Peter's theme?
Or call it a very creative adaptation of Prokofiev's op #67.

Well, yes, but Ko van Dijk (for those who've never heard of him: one
of the greatest Dutch actors of the '50's and '60's) was most
certainly not female.
As far as the score is now, there seem to be three female narrators in
Dutch: Mies Bouwman, Princess Irene von Lippe-Biesterfeld and Leonie
Jansen.

*Grin* ok.
I always seem to forget that Mies van der Rohe is *ONE* surname, not first
name = Mies and "van der Rohe" = surname.
I completely forgot that Mies is a woman's name in the Netherlands.
(side note: in Finland, "mies" means MAN! :))
Curiosities there are in the world, aren't there. ...

Yep! Got the LJ version now.
Very friendly lovely voice, reminds me a lot of the narrator of the
dramatized Dutch children's fairy-tale series
"Sprookjes van de Efteling". (<- but I think they're merely similar, the
SvdE narrator is/was IIRC Nel Schoutes (sp?))

by a female voice. And a recording with the original woman that wrote the
story in Russian should be still available. But her voice sounds pretty
androgyn to my ears. 8-)
