Saint-Sa?ns - The Carnival of the Animals

Over Saint-Sa?ns - The Carnival of the Animals

Mexican conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto leads the Orquesta Sinf?nica de Miner?a in a performance of Camille Saint-Sa?ns's musical suite The Carnival of the Animals (Le carnaval des animaux, 1886). This suite consists of 14 movements, each depicting a different animal. The work was published posthumously in 1922, as Saint-Sa?ns was concerned that his animal miniatures, full of delightful jokes, might damage his reputation as a serious composer. Scored for cello and two pianos, "The Swan" is the only movement that Saint-Sa?ns allowed to be published during his lifetime. This iconic movement features a beautiful flowing cello melody and gentle piano accompaniment, evoking the image of a swan gliding gracefully over the water. Each movement is introduced by Prieto. This performance was recorded at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, in 2021.
