"Sofia Costanza Brigida Villani Scicolone (born on September 20, 1934), known professionally as Sophia Loren, was an Italian actress considered one of the last major stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema. Her career spanned over 70 years, highlighted by her performance in the 1960 film, Two Women, which earned her a Best Actress Oscar. Loren has also received five special Golden Globes, a BAFTA Award, a Grammy Award, and an Honorary Academy Award for lifetime achievements. The following is a recording from 1958 when Loren was 23-years-old."
"Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) had a lifelong attraction to children's stories. By far the best known of all his music inspired by children's literature is Peter and the Wolf. Prokofiev was asked to write a piece that would introduce young audiences to the workings of an orchestra and its instruments. Peter and the Wolf showcases the composer's superb ability to bring a simple story to life, giving each character a recognizable motive and instrumental colour. The story is about the young boy Peter who, together with his friend the bird, manages to catch a hungry wolf who has come to his garden, looking for food and chasing all the animals, including a duck who he manages to swallow. After the wolf has been caught with a lasso, hunters arrive, intending to shoot him. Instead, Peter proposes to bring him to the zoo, and the hunters, Peter, his grandfather and the animals form a procession to deliver the wolf."
