Carnival of the Animals

Description

What does a lion sound like? To what tones does a turtle move? Which music suits the majestic swan best? Camille Saint-Saëns delivers in his "Carnival of the Animals" – a classic of music history – catchy, comprehensible, and timeless musical portraits of various animals. The composition is one of the best-known works ever and delights school classes and families around the world. Kurt Aeschbacher, who worked for SRF for many years, guides through the program, which consists of individual numbers for orchestra. His meticulously crafted dialect language forms the framework for experiencing the animals set to music, which will also be seen as shadow theater on a screen. At the same time, Kurt Aeschbacher introduces the orchestra with its various instruments, which Saint-Saëns skillfully assigns to the animals.
