Saint-Saens Carnival of the Animals / Bizet L’Arlesienne Suites – A Naxos Musical Journey

This volume of the Naxos Musical Journey takes you on a wondrous tour of France and Switzerland. From majestic ancient amphitheaters and ruins to magnificent churches; see the haunting woodlands outside Zurich or marvel at the dramatic landscapes of Les Alpilles; delight in the animals of Knie’s Children’s Zoo or come face to face with lions at the African Reserve of Sigean.
