About "Der Karneval der Tiere, R. 125: Erzählung Teil 1" by Barbara Schöneberger
Barbara Schöneberger's narration opens Saint-Saëns' carnival with a knowing smile, her voice a ringmaster's whip crack. The whimsy of animal parades meets a subtle, theatrical unease—as if the lions might not stay in their cages. Teil 1 sets the stage with velvet tension.
