My First Orchestra Album

From the piping piccolo to the big bass drum, the instruments of the orchestra bring a kaleidoscope of colours and textures to any music. This album is the perfect introduction to the rich sound world of the symphony orchestra, with pieces featuring the trumpet, tuba, celesta, xylophone, violin, guitar, flute, harp and more, all carefully selected to delight younger listeners and start a journey through the wonderful world of classical music.
