Symphoniker Hamburg / Barbara Schöneberger / Johannes Zurl

Animals in the Elbphilharmonie? Music makes it possible. The evening starts with Camille Saint-Saëns: his delightful and boisterous »Carnival of the Animals« is a charming showpiece of musical humour, with roaring lions, cackling hens and dancing turtles. This is aptly followed by the story of the young Peter, his grandfather and the animals of the woods and fields. If you listen carefully, you can hear them all. And thanks to the narrator, Prokofiev’s story of »Peter and the Wolf« is particularly vivid: in this concert, German TV icon Barbara Schöneberger demonstrates her love of music.
