Karneval Tiere

The two works are classics of concerts for children who are enjoying the same worldwide success: the musical tale "Peter and the Wolf" by Prokofiev and "The Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint:Saëns, which the latter described : probably with a wink : like a "Great Zoological Fantasy". Is the gist of it that way? Not at all. Because the question arises as to why adults appreciate the story of the brave Peter and the bad wolf as much as children. It probably has to do with the great music of Prokofiev. It should also be remembered that Saint:Saëns composed his "Carnival" for a private concert at home, that is to say for the entertainment of adults. And the latter apparently couldn't help laughing, so much so that the composer suddenly got scared and strictly banned the publication of his charming work, fearing that his serious works would no longer be taken seriously. In a way, he was proved right: in terms of popularity with young and old alike, no other work by Saint:Saëns can compete with the "Carnival of the Animals".

Es ist einfach unmöglich, diese Werke miteinander zu vergleichen - sie alle sind einzigartig, so dass jede dieser Kompositionen die Top-Liste führen könnte.
