Outstanding interpretation! In my mind's eye I can envision mermaids and mermen singing, schools of multicolour fish adding harmony and the fabled Sirens calling from shore nearby luring the unsuspecting to the watery depths. If Saint-Seans could heard this rendition, I'd bet he'd be enchanted! Well done ladies! Bravo!! :)

And if anybody's wondering - no I'm not drunk, stoned or tripping out.

its pretty unusual to get a group of 4 harpists you are clearly talented! But why oh why did you dollop some badly mixed choir "noises" over the the harps. Its like speding hours making a roast dinner then covering it all with strawberry jam (bad combo)!

@bonzzo15 I was just making a joke. If you want to take it seriously, that point of the joke was to emphasize that this piece is the one that came first, written in 1886, while the score for Beauty and the Beast written in 1991. So if you were going to compare the works, you would say that this piece sounds like the opening to Beauty and the Beast, not the other way around because Saint-Saëns came first. Is that clear enough for you? People can't take jokes anymore.

@xtina913 Big difference wiseass.

[xtina913]

@Jared7873 No, the opening to Disney's Beauty and the Beast sounds like Saint-Saën's "Aquarium" from Carnival of the Animals!

Good performance, compliment!!

This is absolutely wonderful...the choir makes me think of the Sirens' song too, or an underwater mermaid/merman choir. I think it makes it totally atmospheric. Beautiful interpretation. I think Saint-Saens would think so, too!
