About "Der Karneval der Tiere, R. 125: VIII. Das Aquarium" by Radio Symphonie Orchester Berlin

Saint-Saëns' aquarium glimmers with aquatic surrealism—flutes and celesta darting like fish through glass. The Berlin orchestra captures a contained wonder, but there's a faint claustrophobia in the repeating figures, beauty trapped behind an invisible pane.
