A great way to introduce children to classical music.
America's first Children's Poet Laureate has written all-new verses
to accompany the composer Camille Saint-Saens's "The Carnival of
the Animals, " and the illustrator of the Harry Potter books has
turned these rollicking rhymes into a picture-book fun fest.
Included is a CD of the music and of Jack Prelutsky reading the
verses. A note to parents and teachers by Judith Bachleitner, head
of the music department at the prestigious Rudolf Steiner School in
New York City, suggests ways preschoolers can act out the
music--tromp like an elephant, hop like a kangaroo, glide like a
swan--or, for older children, be creatively inspired by this joyful
work.
Splendid compilation features a variety of the composer's best
piano works, all reproduced from authoritative sources. Taking its
title from the popular orchestral work "Danse Macabre" (presented
here in the brilliant arrangement by Liszt), this collection also
includes "Allegro appassionato," "Album" (consisting of six
pieces), "Rhapsodie d'Auvergne," "Theme and Variations," plus six
etudes, three waltzes, and six etudes for left hand alone.

Collection of ballets making up the Gala des Étoiles of 2015. David
Coleman conducts the Teatro alla Scala in performances of, amongst
others, 'La Rose Malade' by Gustav Mahler, 'The Dying Swan' by
Camille Saint-Saëns and Aram Khatchaturian's 'Spartacus'.
This highly esteemed 1976 recording of Saint-Saens "Organ" Symphony
remains one of the finest available. Daniel Barenboim takes a
joyous celebratory approach to this massive work, achieving an
overall warmth and immediacy few conductors have matched before or
since. Organist Gaston Litaize is clearly equally inspired,
delivering a rousing extraordinarily memorable finale. Deutsche
Grammophon's exceptionally clear detailed sound is quite good as
well.
