Carmen Suites / L’Arlésienne Suites
Album by Georges Bizet & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein
Carmen Suites / L’Arlésienne Suites is a compilation of orchestral suites by French composer Georges Bizet, comprising music from L'Arlésienne (1872) and Carmen (1875). The music features Romantic-era orchestral colours, Spanish-influenced rhythms and dance-like movements alongside evocative instrumental textures, reflecting Bizet's late-career focus on dramatic stage music and its place in 19th-century operatic and incidental-music traditions.
