Joanna Lumley and War Horse author Michael Morpurgo narrate the world-famous story accompanied by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performing Adrian Sutton’s symphonic arrangement of the original score and songs.

This recording is lavishly illustrated with drawings by Rae Smith, designer of the stage show, and presented in 4 physical formats. BMG is thrilled to announce the release of ‘War Horse: The Story in Concert’ narrated by Michael Morpurgo and Joanna Lumley.

The music, composed by Adrian Sutton with songs by John Tams, is performed by the critically acclaimed Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Tim van Eyken (the original Songman from the National Theatre’s ‘War Horse’) and London Voices, conducted by David Angus.

This ground-breaking album, in unique packaging, follows the hugely successful concert at the Royal Albert Hall last year. It is an unequaled experience of a story with music, based on Michael Morpurgo’s compelling and emotionally charged novel. The Standard Edition contains 3 audio CDs featuring full narrated script (on 2 CDs) and music-only audio (on the 3rd CD).
