Camille Saint-Saëns
Selections From Carnival Of The Animals
Single US 1975 on Capitol Records label
Classical (Romantic)
Red Capitol label with built-in metal 45 adapter. Back cover reads: "Practically everyone has been to a zoo, so it stands to reason that any alert listener will immediately recognize among the selections on this record the cacophonous Hens and Cocks; the verbose Wild Jackasses; The Elephant, who lumbers in bass; and The Swan, a favorite of lyric beauty. To achieve this charming diversity of sounds and fine musical wit in Carnival of the Animals, Saint-Saens has taken talented liberties with other composers' familiar creations. And besides these clever, highly intricate variations, Saint-Saens himself has written lively and memorable original themes. Conductor Felix Slatkin directs this superb performance of the Concert Arts Orchestra, with Eleanor Aller playing the 'cello solo in The Swan, and Arthur Gleghorn skillfully manipulating the whimsical Aviary's flute."
