Marko Simsa and Silke Brix take both young and old into the realm of animals! There is cheerful chirping in Haydn's "Bird Quartet," buzzing and humming in Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee." In Rossini's "Cat Duet," there are strong meows. Bartók's "The Bear" rumbles. And Mussorgsky even lets the chicks dance in their eggshells. Accompanying the beautiful story and the music CD, Silke Brix's illustrations open up colorful worlds filled with many enchanting details about the animals and their characteristics.
