Symphony in C / “Jeux d’enfants”

Album by Georges Bizet & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Bernard Haitink

Symphony in C and Jeux d'enfants are orchestral works by Georges Bizet, composed in 1855 and 1871 respectively. The music ranges from the symphony's classical forms and youthful vigour to the suite's concise character pieces, characterised by clear melodic lines and bright orchestral colour, and together the works illustrate different stages of Bizet's compositional development within nineteenth-century French music.
First released: 1979
