A musical tale for young people – a television production full of colourful animations about young Erik, who disappears into a painting of the meadow “Wollewei” and experiences all kind of adventures in the world of the insects, in which he has landed. Composer W.F.Bon has written this piece for a narrator and a symphony orchestra. Here the music is performed by the Netherlands’ Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ed Spanjaard. Edwin Rutten is the Dutch narrator. He can be easily replaced by a native narrator.
