A graceful swan, a waltzing elephant, and a whole chorus-line of high-kicking fossils ... Saint-Saëns’s tongue was very firmly in his cheek when he wrote The Carnival of the Animals. But beneath the humour, there’s a wisdom and warmth, and tonight, with Sandra Albukrek’s enchanting animations, it tells a magical story about humanity’s relationship with nature. Lidiya Yankovskaya brings the same energy and imagination to Dvořák’s storm-swept symphony, plus an immersive piano concerto featuring live electronic sound and video.
