The stuff of nightmares

I grew up listening to this recording of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, narrated by Basil Rathbone. NO ONE ever did it like he did it. Far and away the best narration of this piece I have ever heard. He made your hair stand on end. I literally had a recurring nightmare in which a red-eyed wolf stalked me.
