One of the most famous cello pieces of all time, Camille Saint-Saens’ “The Swan” from his “Carnival of Animals”, performed by a professional cellist. This is the original version of this song, as the composer intended it to be played – by a cello, accompanied by piano. Other arrangements exist for other instruments, but none capture the essence of the composer’s depiction of the graceful, effortlessly gliding swan as perfectly as the cello.
