Based on the subject of the eponymous novella by Prosper Merimee, 'Carmen' is George Bizet's last work. The composer died a few weeks after the unsuccessful world premiere in Paris on 3 March 1875. To the opera-lover of today, it is inconceivable that this work with its numerous wonderful 'Spanish' melodies and rhythms - developed by Bizet virtually 'from afar' as he had never travelled through Spain - could ever be a failure. Over the course of time, however, 'Carmen' has become one of the most popular and most frequently played operas long since.Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

Carmen is the best known work by the French composer Georges Bizet (1838-1875). Criticised by the French public at the time of its creation because its plot was deemed indecent, the opera nevertheless came to be considered as a major work due to its captivating melodies, Spanish character and energetic rhythms. In this brilliant transcription for concert band Tohru Takahasi has remained faithful to the sparkling, joyful atmosphere of the scenes from the opera.

Ook buiten de theatrale context heeft de operamuziek van Bizet een beeldende kracht. Tohru Takahahsi’s bewerking van de Carmen Suite doet recht aan de dramatiek en grandeur van het origineel.

Carm en ist wohl das berühmteste und meistgespielte Werk des Musiktheaters. Auch außerhalb des Theaterkontexts mangelt es der Musik von Georges Bizet nicht an Ausdruckskraft und Dramatik. Nach dem Tode des Komponisten wurden einige Passagen der Oper für die Carmen Suite exzerpiert, die mit dieser Bearbeitung von Tohru Takahashi, die der Dramatik und Größe des Originals vollkommen gerecht wird, nun auch für Blasorchester zugänglich ist.

Carmen est l’œuvre la plus célèbre du compositeur français Georges Bizet (1838-1875). Cette brillante transcription reste fidèle l’atmosphère pétillante et vive des scènes de l’opéra.
