Since the dawn of music, composers have sought inspiration in nature. No source is more rich, dramatic, and endlessly diverse than the animal kingdom. This World Animal Day (October 4), enter a unique sonic zoo with the release of the magnificent new collection, "A Musical Bestiary." This album explores classical music's longstanding and loving gaze on animals. Experience the unexpected terror of nocturnal creatures and mythical monsters, be captivated by playful portrayals of mischievous creatures, and revel in the majestic spectacle of birds soaring through the sky and horses galloping across the land. From Saint-Saëns's famous zoological fantasies ("The Carnival of the Animals") to undiscovered gems that beautifully capture the essence of living creatures, this collection draws on music from centuries of repertoire to create a diverse and moving program. Whether drawing from folk tales, sophisticated poetry, or simply responding to vivid imagery, these composers' works powerfully demonstrate that the animal kingdom is one of classical music's richest sources of character and drama.
