The Great Animal Orchestra, by English composer Richard Blackford and American wild soundscape recordist Bernie Krause, combines the sounds of the natural world with the traditional sounds of the orchestra. Throughout the five movement symphony, gibbons, humpback whales, Pacific tree frogs, mountain gorillas, beavers, and the musical wren are featured alongside the orchestra. The Great Animal Orchestra is accompanied here by a new orchestration of Saint Saëns s Carnival of the Animals.
