This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom

Based on the critical edition-'Carmen' is one of the most popular and most frequently performed operas across the globe. Its world premiere was a flop which the composer Bizet did not live to see. Nevertheless the opera very quickly gained acceptance at all major theatres bringing in its wake countless arrangements of some particularly beautiful music numbers.It was in all probability Bizet's close friend and fellow student Ernest Guiraud who brought 12 numbers of the opera together to form two orchestral suites. After the first Carmen Suite which unites the most beautiful instrumental settings the second suite with arrangements of the best-known vocal pieces is now available as well. Themusical text is based on our new scientific edition of the opera edited by Robert Didion.
