L'Arlesienne: Suites nos. 1 & 2 / Carmen: Suite no. 1
Album by Georges Bizet & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan
L'Arlesienne: Suites nos. 1 & 2 / Carmen: Suite no. 1 is a collection of orchestral suites by French composer Georges Bizet, first published in the 1870s. The music features Romantic-era orchestration, operatic melody and Mediterranean-influenced rhythms with bright orchestral colour, and the suites serve as concise orchestral distillations of his stage works that hold a notable place in Bizet's output and in late 19th-century French orchestral practice.
First released: 18th February 1985
