2006

Orchestra, Chorus: 
London Philharmonic Orchestra

Suzie Templeton

It’s a wolf-eats-duck world. But it’s a world in which little boys can find extraordinary courage and – with a little help from a crazy bird and a dreamy duck (and none whatsoever from a fat, lethargic cat and two hooligan hunters) - can catch the wolf.
