Mats Lidstrom / Leif Kaner-Lidstrom - "Swans". Inspired by Saint-Saens's iconic piece "The Swan (Le cygne)" from the Carnival of the Animals, cellist Mats Lidstrom and his son Leif Kaner-Lidstrom 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-Saens original.
