Saint-Saëns: The Carnival of the Animals, R. 125: Finale | Lang Lang & Gina Alice
Husband-and-wife team Lang Lang and Gina Alice join Andris Nelsons and members of the Gewandhausorchester for a special performance of Saint-Saëns's ever-popular Carnival of the Animals.
The humorous suite was composed with fun in mind and Saint-Saëns wouldn't allow it to be performed in public during his lifetime, lest it undermine his reputation as a serious composer. It went on, however, to become one of his best-loved works.
This joyous performance relishes its moments of beauty (such as in "The Swan") and revels in its wit and inventiveness – an irresistible musical treat!
