Beethoven “Moonlight Sonata” for Old Elephant
Mongkol is a 61-year-old former logging elephant. His captive-held life was spent hauling trees in the Thai forest. His body shape is deformed through hard labor, he lost his right eye and tusk in this brutal logging practice. Mongkol was rescued and brought to Elephants World to spend the rest of his days relaxing peacefully in freedom by the River Kwai. I discovered Mongkol is an extremely gentle, sensitive elephant who enjoys music, especially this slow movement by Beethoven which I play to him occasionally in the day and night.

Traduzione in italiano: Mongkol è un ex elefante taglialegna di 61 anni. Trascorreva la sua vita in prigionia trasportando alberi nella foresta tailandese. La sua forma corporea è deformata dal duro lavoro, ha perso l'occhio destro e la zanna a causa di questa brutale pratica di disboscamento. Mongkol è stato salvato e portato a Elephants World per trascorrere il resto dei suoi giorni rilassandosi …More
Traduzione in italiano: Mongkol è un ex elefante taglialegna di 61 anni. Trascorreva la sua vita in prigionia trasportando alberi nella foresta tailandese. La sua forma corporea è deformata dal duro lavoro, ha perso l'occhio destro e la zanna a causa di questa brutale pratica di disboscamento. Mongkol è stato salvato e portato a Elephants World per trascorrere il resto dei suoi giorni rilassandosi pacificamente in libertà vicino al fiume Kwai. Ho scoperto che Mongkol è un elefante estremamente gentile e sensibile a cui piace la musica, in particolare questo movimento lento di Beethoven che gli suono occasionalmente giorno e notte.

Even an elephant has enough sense to appreciate this. Compare it to the vomit of contemporary so called music.
