| | Raphael Mostel: THE TRAVELS OF BABAR |
 | | There are more than thirty books in the Babar the Elephant series (seven by Jean de Brunhoff and, after his untimely death in 1937, twenty-five by his eldest son Laurent de Brunhoff), a television cartoon series, and two feature-length animated films. |
 | | While The Travels of Babar, An Adventure in Scales is a delightful listening experience for all ages, young and old, it is especially designed to introduce young people to the wonders and power of classical music - this generation's Peter and the Wolf. |
 | | Travels of Babar is meant to be an antidote: an easy-to-produce, very portable concert, to give the satisfying and more vital experience of hearing real, acoustic sound, experiencing music being made live. |
