Lidstrom, Mats / Kaner-Lidstrom, Leif – Swans [CD]

Description

Mats Lidstrm / Leif Kaner-Lidstrm – “Swans”. Inspired by Saint-Sans’s iconic piece “The Swan (Le cygne)” from the Carnival of the Animals, cellist Mats Lidstrm and his son Leif Kaner-Lidstrm present no fewer than 24 “Swans” from across the world and down the ages. Featuring composers as diverse as Fanny Mendelssohn, Orlando Gibbons, Ravel and Villa-Lobos, the album offers up two-dozen musical reflections on the unmistakable and much-loved Saint-Sans original.
