Le carnaval des animaux

À propos
This suite of short pieces by Camille Saint-Saëns evokes various animals through musical compositions punctuated by whimsical touches and playful allusions.

Next comes *The King Who Didn’t Like Music*, the story of a grumpy king who forbids his people from making music—a poetic narrative by Mathieu Laine set to melodies by Karol Beffa. Thanks to an original instrumentation combining two pianos, strings, flute, clarinet, harmonica (celesta), and xylophone, the colors and sounds of the instruments unfold throughout a musical journey full of poetry and surprises.
