This disc contains much delightful chamber music playing. Carnival of the Animals receives a bold, exciting reading in which the players really romp through this charming menagerie. Tempos are swift: it's hard to believe that Emmanuel Pahud (flute) gets through the Aviary with his lips intact, but despite the broad strokes of humor and up-front recorded sound, the approach never becomes annoying. The two pianists in particular manage to provide a welcome variety of touch and articulation, and they keep their clowning in "Pianists" within reasonable bounds. It's also worth noting that the percussionist uses a real glass harmonica in "Aquarium", and cellist Gautier Capucon plays a majestic Swan. All of these infectious qualities carry over to the other works on the disc, particularly the Septuor which here almost explodes with neo-classical wit and verve. The Fantaisie for Violin and Harp is a lovely work that deserves more than the occasional outing on disc, and while I don't really want to hear Dalila's big aria transcribed for cello and piano, it's very well done (as are the other two short works for the same forces). As noted above, the sonics are closely detailed, perhaps too much so for some listeners, but never claustrophobic. This very enjoyable program deserves a listen; it will make you smile.
