While paying glittering homage to the animal kingdom, this programme also takes us on a journey through the centuries: the existing pieces freely inspired by birdsong, from Couperin to Ravel, are mirrored by an astonishing ‘Carnival of Animals in Peril’. Its composer, Vincent Bouchot, reminds us of the disappearance of certain species of animals – and of certain musical instruments that very nearly became extinct too.
