Review:
 

“Nicholas nudges Nash aside for a delightfully witty talk with the animals. Nicholas provides a welcome narrative context - a parade of Saint-Saën's menagerie through the streets of Paris - whose memorable visual images will likely enthral savvier children. The performance here by Nettle and Markham... and a crackerjack instrumental ensemble is top-notch too.”
Gramophone, April 2008
