Lang Lang joins forces with his wife, pianist Gina Alice, the Gewandhausorchester and the conductor Andris Nelsons on Saint-Säens’s “grand zoological fantasy” for two pianos and orchestra. This special version includes readings of the much-loved comic verses written to accompany each movement of the work by American poet Ogden Nash (1902-1971). First voiced by Noel Coward on a recording issued in 1950, Nash’s poems are here narrated by comedian and host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon.
History
Music Notes
Most Western music is based on a system of notation that evolved around 1600 out of earlier practices. The starting point for any opera is the full score, which contains all individual voices and instruments arranged in a specific order on the page. The written music—representing the sounds a composer creates in his head—then comes to life performed by singers onstage and played by the orchestra.
