The great Johnny Ball – children’s TV presenter (do you remember Play School?) populariser of mathematics and the father of Radio 2 DJ Zoe Ball – guides us through ‘a symphonic fairy tale’ that explores the mysteries of folklore and the wilderness, shedding new light on well-known pieces by Prokofiev and Saint-Saëns, timeless folk-songs by Canteloube, and Rachmaninov’s enchanting Vocalise.
