Carmen Suite / L’Arlésienne Suites 1 & 2

Album by Georges Bizet & Herbert von Karajan

Carmen Suite / L’Arlésienne Suites 1 & 2 is a compilation of orchestral suites by French composer Georges Bizet, drawing on music composed between 1872 and 1875. The release pairs the operatic drama of Carmen with the Provençal pastoral character of L’Arlésienne, characterised by vivid orchestration, flowing melodic themes and a blend of drama and local colour that helped shape late Romantic French music.
