Carnival

The Kanneh-Masons, Olivia Colman, Michael Morpurgo

2020

Camille Saint-Saëns augenzwinkernder „Karneval der Tiere“ ist der perfekte Einstieg in die Welt der klassischen Musik. Das gilt umso mehr für diese vor Elan und Witz vibrierende Aufnahme durch das familiengeführte Kanneh-Mason-Ensemble, das hier von herausragenden Gastmusikern unterstützt wird. Die von Schauspielerin Olivia Colman kongenial vorgetragene Textvorlage von Michael Morpurgo sprüht vor Charme und reichlich Witz verströmen auch Zugaben wie Rimksy-Korsakows „Hummelflug“ oder Eric Whitacres „The Seal Lullaby“ – wahrlich tierisch gut!
