Prokofiev: Pierre et le loup - Saint-Saëns: Le carnaval des animaux

The exquisite “zoological fantasy” for chamber ensemble Le carnaval des animaux remains Saint-Saëns' most popular work. It comes here in a beautiful version, released for the first time in digital, by Michel Plasson and soloists from the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, and features star pianists Mikhail Rudy and Tzimon Barto. Fun fact: this version of Aquarium is famous for being the one used in the video opening of the Festival de Cannes, before each screening! The album also contains a French version of Peter and the Wolf enhanced by the dulcet tones of actor Lambert Wilson.
