About "The Carnival of the Animals, Zoological Fantasy for 2 Piano and Orchestra, R. 125: I. Introduction and Royal March of the Lion" by Emil Gilels
Saint-Saëns' royal march announces the lion with mock pomp and real swagger, pianos and orchestra strutting in stately unison. The grandeur is playful, a cartoon king parading through the zoo—regal, ridiculous, and utterly charming.
