The chromatic strokes in the piano can evoke the roar of wild animals. Chickens and roosters : 2 pianos, clarinet, violins, viola - The imitation of cackling and cackling clarinet is present. A solid and brief chord puts an end to it. Hemiones: 2 pianos - Hemiones are wild donkeys from Asia. A fast animal, like the Presto in the score, particularly virtuosic for pianists. Turtles: Strings, piano - Of course, the speed of the hemiones is opposed here, but in a very amusing way, since this movement is built on the famous and very slowed down tune from Offenbach's quadrille from Orpheus in the Underworld, the famous "French Cancan". The Elephant : Piano and double bass - Parody of Hector Berlioz's Dance of the Sylphs (double bass), again, like the "French Cancan" against the grain, and an allusion to Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream. Kangaroos : 2 pianos - An imitative movement of the animal's jumps and stops. Aquarium : 2 pianos, flute, celesta, violins, viola, cello - Everyone has heard this movement in commercials. One cannot forget the extraordinary bubble effect. Long-eared characters: violins - This is the donkey, its braying is imitated. It is the shortest movement. The cuckoo in the woods : 2 pianos, clarinet (from the wings) - A rather poetic movement where the cuckoo clarinet reiterates its descending third. La volière : 2 pianos, flute, strings. Very graceful movement, where the theme is held almost exclusively by the flute, supported by discreet tremolos of the strings and pizzicatos. Depending on the interpretation, the tempo varies a lot. Pianists : 2 pianos, strings - A caricature where the pianist is asked not to succeed in his exercises of scales and thirds. Fossils : 2 pianos, xylophone, clarinet, strings - One can recognize his famous Danse macabre, J'ai du bon tabac, Ah vous dirais-je Maman, by Mozart, Au clair de la Lune, En partant pour la Syrie, an aria by Rosine ("una voce poco fa") from Rossini's Barber of Seville. The Swan: 2 pianos, cello. Perhaps the most famous movement of the whole piece, or at least the only one that has the honor of being played alone, it is a magnificent cello solo supported by the piano, very poetic and without any humor or caricature of any excess of lyricism proper to the strings. Finale : Tutti - The parade, synthesis of all that precedes. The animals reappear more or less briefly in the following order: the hemiones (with chords chanted by the strings), the fossils (notably by the more important use of the xylophone), the hens and roosters, the kangaroos, the donkeys and, implicitly by the tonality, the lion.

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieses spätromantischen und einzigartigen Meisterwerks mit klar artikulierten doch perfekt entsprechenden Klänge der beiden unvergleichlichen Soloklaviere sowie farbenreichen doch gut vereinigeten Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der ebenso unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Alles ist wunderbar!
@@luanllluan Yes, especially MJ, He had Absolute Pitch and He said that Tchaikovsky was the classical composer that influenced him the most. Also don't you forget about Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.
This famous melody is inspirational , graceful and comfortable to the ear and the mind There is something extraordinary in this incomparable performance From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

C'EST ENVOÛTANTE PRODIGUX EXTRAORDINAIRE MERCI !
Saint-Saens greatest works really are top ☝🏻
Wow, that ending! one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed!
For me Le Sygne, the most beautiful moment of this Concert, Thanks Saint-Saëns.
Super great composer and this is a masterpiece! Many thanks to musicians and you for sharing and providing comments
Perfect. Thank you.
:)
Though I've never heard this piece, thank you it was very nice. Regards from Greece

My piano teacher always said be the pianist from Saint Saens The Carnival of the Animals and brush up your scales !
Infinitas gracias, regresaba a casa atravesando los parques,e imaginaba al rey león o al elefante paseando por allí…Saludos desde Tokyo, Hamura.
What fun!! Just discovered this.
Großartige Musik, hervorragende Interpretation und Solisten!!!
Thank you! Wonderful! Descriptions very much appreciated.❤Love from Cape Town🇿🇦
Hermosa obra! Ahora que estudio música entiendo más allá del sonido, y realmente son geniales!!
Lion, lion, lion, vous êtes le roi de la création.
Il a sauté en marche arrière, est tombé et s'est cassé le pied.
I wonder how many of us were introduced to classical music by cartoons and le carnaval...
Not many nowadays. Michael Jackson and Madonna seems to be the teaching tools by all the rap generation teachers now in their late 30's and 40's !
@@canman5060 i see no problem in that! MJ and Madonna are amazing artists, I was introduced to both traditions as kid and both are equally important
@@luanllluan Yes, especially MJ, He had Absolute Pitch and He said that Tchaikovsky was the classical composer that influenced him the most. Also don't you forget about Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.

Thank you for posting this brilliant and idiomatic performance of this wonderful masterpiece by Saint-Saens! Always such a delight to hear.
Absolutely the best!!!
Thank you for this new mastering, I've got this CD, but the sound is really bad too much low, now yes.
