About This Song
About "Der Karneval der Tiere, R. 125: Erzählung Teil 5" by Barbara Schöneberger
Teil 5 finds the tale at its most tender and strange—a lullaby for a fossil or a swan's last glide. Schöneberger's voice is a warm hand on a cold brass rail. The music's elegance masks a quiet, creeping melancholy. Wonder and unease waltz together.
