Braak / Chronatic Quartet- Karneval Der Tiere
When Saint-Saens invited his guests - all famous colleagues from past and present - to the masked ball, he gave each one a characteristic costume: Paganini becomes a kangaroo, Jacques Offenbach finds himself as a turtle with his Cancan in slow motion, the virtuoso Frederic Chopin mutates into a wild animal... There are also chickens, fish, a lion and the world-famous swan. The Chronatic Quartet pays homage to all these figures and their host and puts some fossils in their place with their individual interpretation. This is not a note-for-note transcription of the "animal defile", but it's own compositional interpretation.
Tracklist:
- Der Löwe
- Hühner
- Wilde Pferde
- Schildkröten
- Elefant
- Kängurus
- Aquarium
- Hausesel
- Der Kuckuck
- Voliere
- Pianisten
- Fossilien
- Der Schwan
- Finale
