Approved

This year, a classic is at the heart of the Wiener Symphoniker's well-loved family concert: the Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns. Saint-Saëns' 'great zoological fantasy', as the caption reads, appeared originally with no words at all. But since the pieces went down so well with the public, the good and the great later wrote stories to go with them. Perhaps the most legendary text is by German humourist Loriot, which is also the one performed here. The short, finely-drawn descriptions of elephant, tortoise and swan turn the 'Carnival of the Animals' into an entertaining and enthralling character study for the whole family.
