AUDREY HEPBURN'S ENCHANTED TALES

The late screen legend Audrey Hepburn uses music from Maurice Ravel's "Mother Goose" as the framework for this production. Narrating the story portrayed by the background music, her performance, although intended for children, is that of an adult performing for adults. There are no exaggerated intonations or characterizations. What we hear is what one would expect from Hepburn: a dignified performance that is dainty with precise enunciation and fitting inflections. The music is apparent, but a nice complement to her fine voice. M.T.F. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/ JAN 02]
