JoAnn Falletta's Classics for Kids is a CD of symphonic pieces that children can appreciate for their humor and vivid tone colors, and adults can enjoy them equally for their beauty and brilliance. Rather than serve up a handful of timeworn classical "hits" that can be found on any compilation, Falletta presents complete live performances of Camille Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals, Paul Dukas' symphonic scherzo The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and Maurice Ravel's Ma mère l'Oye (Mother Goose Suite), which give the listener credit for being able to take in whole works instead of short excerpts. The performances are enlivened with narration in Carnival of the Animals and The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Goo Goo Dolls bassist Robby Takac, and Falletta conducts and narrates Ma mère l'Oye. Also worth hearing for their pianistic fireworks are Orion Weiss and Anna Polonsky, who bring considerable brightness and splashiness to Carnival, though the cheek-by-jowl quotations from Beethoven, Liszt, Grieg, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, and others in Pianists (track 12) obviously aren't in Saint-Saëns' original score. This is an exceptional program for young people that teaches the descriptive power of music through examples, and the engaging playing by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra holds the listener's attention from start to finish.
