A remarkable bull
This classical piece of music is about a bull named Ferdinand. A peace-loving bull who, unlike all the other bulls, does not want to fight, but would rather smell the flowers. The original book was considered propaganda and banned in Franco’s Spain and Nazi Germany. The English composer Alan Ridout set the story to music in 1971, in a version for violin and narrator. The first Dutch recording was initiated by Het Muziekinstrumentenfonds.
