About "Carnival of the Animals, R. 125 : Saint-Saëns: Carnival of the Animals, R. 125: Ib. Royal March of the Lion" by Andris Nelsons

The Royal March of the Lion struts with pomp, but Nelsons gives the brass a swagger that's just a little too forced. It's a regal procession with a nervous twitch—the king of beasts parading under a spotlight that feels like a cage, majestic and subtly on edge.
