    Does anybody see any sign of influence of Camille Saint-Saens on Mr Elfman’s music? I am thinking especially of parts of Saint-Saens “Carnival of the Animals” particularly such sections as “Aquarium” and “Le Coucou au Fond du Foret” which reminded me strongly of some of the music from Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. A comment from someone more musically learned than myself would be appreciated.

    i absolutly agree with you!
    Saint-Saens is genius. When i first listened to his music, i thought i was listening to Elfman.

    I’m loosely familiar with ‘Carnival’ but I’d love to hear it again. Can anyone reccomend a particular recording / album as being a top-notch rendition?

    I have one posted on the front of this page (just skim through the mp3 player at the bottom)…
