"Dewan reads the story and plays his own arrangement (electronic, natch) of the Dukas score, together with the 'Danse Macabre' by Saint Saens and a composition of his own called 'March of the Robots'. He does it infuriatingly well. Electronic music can easily sound like the whine and buzz of a zombie-space-hornet, but here the sine waves are manipulated with taste and imagination as well as skill." PHILIP PULLMAN, TES "He has not only written and illustrated the story, but has transposed Dukas' famous theme into electronic music over which he reads the story. The end result is captivating." CHILD EDUCATION "The plot unfolds at a galloping pace, accompanied by the electronic music based on the original classical score ...The new music suits this retelling perfectly. It is impossible not to stamp or march to the music, its rhythm and beat are compelling. As well as the story...we are also treated to two other pieces of music which are highly atmospheric and at times spooky. If you would like to try something a little different, stimulating to both the ear and the mind, try this tape and it will definitely grow on you." CHILDREN'S BOOKS IN IRELAND |
