Soldier, Dave / Lair, Richard / Thai Elephant Orchestra
Elephonic Rhapsodies



Label: Mulatta Records
Country: USA

Elephants, who have the largest brains of any land mammal, can in fact play music, as the Thai Elephant Orchestra demonstrates. NY violinist and composer David Soldier has been working with the Orchestra in a series of compositions and realizations for the orchestra. This is their 2nd release.

"The Thai Elephant Orchestra was co-founded by Richard Lair of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center in Lampang and performer/composer Dave Soldier. This CD is more tailored for children than the first, and explores the far reaches of what the ellies now perform, including lots of traditional Thai music, and even Beethoven (the Pastorale Symphony) and Hank Williams (Kaw-liga). Guest appearances by dance composer David First, cellist Jami Sieber, pin pia player Smithitham, bamoolin player Muangling, saxophone sensation Matusuda Madoka and more. But still lots and lots of pure elephant music with almost no editing or studio tricks sure to please their fans."-Mulatta
