About

“Using her own enthusiastically expanded version of the original commentary, Dame Edna Everage is sure to draw any young possum into the world of the orchestra. Her exuberance offsets any twee moments, and the Melbourne Orchestra illustrate vivid instrumental descriptions with splendidly alive and colourful playing. The Naxos recording is excellent and, with its highly enjoyable couplings, this inexpensive triptych is warmly recommendable.” – The Penguin Guide

Reviews

Barry Humphries adopts an engagingly cultivated male persona to tell The Story of Babar... He is genial, gently touching and animated by turns, but always stylish; and so is Lanchbery’s matching orchestral accompanimennt, which catches the moments of nostalgia and joy with equal sensitivity and flair.
