Two legends united: Herbert von Karajan and Romy Schneider in Prokofiev’s ‘Peter and the Wolf’.

Legendary Austrian actress Romy Schneider narrates Prokofiev’s magical fairy-tale masterpiece with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Herbert von Karajan.

Spectacular success and popularity went hand in hand with personal tragedy in Romy Schneider’s life. Her untimely death at the age of 43 following the death of her teenage son created a legend not only in her native Austria but across Europe.
