About This Song
About "Le carnaval des animaux, R. 125 : Saint-Saëns: Le carnaval des animaux, R. 125: IV. Tortues" by Mischa Maisky
Saint-Saëns' Tortues drags the can-can into slow motion, a deliberate, lumbering parody that smirks beneath its shell. The humor is deadpan, the strings heavy with mock gravity—comedy achieved through exquisite, unhurried restraint.
