Carnival

Olivia Colman, The Kanneh-Masons, Michael Morpurgo

2020

Olivia Colman e Michael Morpurgo prestano la voce ai racconti dello scrittore inglese che si inseriscono nella parata de ‘Le Carnaval des Animaux’, splendidamente interpretata dai fratelli Kanneh-Mason. Inciso ad Abbey Road, l’album è un’esplosione di freschezza che mette in risalto il talento dei giovani protagonisti, affiancati da Mark Simpson al clarinetto e Adrian Spillett alle percussioni. Un inedito arrangiamento di ‘Redemption Song’ e un’ulteriore sfilata di brani tra Bartók e Eric Whitacre completano il tragitto, alternandosi con le letture della favola ecologista ‘Grandpa Christmas’.
