Kindhearted Brit Paul Barton, 57, has been putting together his unique performances since 2011, and he believes that playing the likes of Bach and Beethoven to the animals helps rehabilitate those that have lived stressful lives. In his selection of videos, the elephants at Elephants World, a sanctuary near Kanchanaburi, Thailand, can be seen mesmerised by Paul's performances, standing next to the piano as the pianist calmly plays away. Paul came across Elephants World while making a video about the River Kwai bridge and liking the sound of what was seen as a retirement home for the majestic creatures, Paul payed the sanctuary a visit, asking the manager if he could bring his piano along, too. **Please contact licensing@ for media / licensing / broadcast usage** SUBMIT A VIDEO: Connect with Caters: Twitter: Facebook: Website: Instagram: Company Information: Caters Clips is owned and operated by Caters News Agency Ltd, an international multimedia content provider.
