Suites "Carmen" 1 & 2 / "L'Arlésienne" 1 & 2

Album by Georges Bizet & London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Neville Marriner

Suites 'Carmen' 1 & 2 / 'L'Arlésienne' 1 & 2 are orchestral suites by French composer Georges Bizet, dating from the 1870s. They draw on Bizet's operatic and incidental theatre music, featuring vivid orchestration, dance-derived rhythms and tuneful melodic writing, and reflect his role in bringing theatrical themes into the concert-hall repertoire of 19th-century French music.
