About This Song

About "Le carnaval des animaux, R. 125 : Saint-Saëns: Le carnaval des animaux, R. 125: I. Introduction et marche royale du lion" by Mischa Maisky

Saint-Saëns’ royal lion strides forth in this introduction and march, Mischa Maisky guiding the cello’s regal swagger. The pomp is playful, almost tongue-in-cheek, but the brass fanfares carry a majestic unease—a king aware his crown is borrowed.
