The Carmen suites and the LArlésienne suites are two most - TopicsExpress



          

The Carmen suites and the LArlésienne suites are two most commonly paired pieces when it comes to Bizets incidental music. As is expected, Carmen being the more popular work of the two, it is usually performed with more zeal and virtuosity. In comparison, on many occasions, the LArlésienne suites seem to be played at a much subdued level. It is a very powerful and moving recording that I feel truely unleashes the energy and depth of the movements. This is a truly splendid version of Carmen. Bernstein is at his best in this music and the NYPO play their hearts out for him. The music has great rhythmic vitality as well as nuance. The sheer virtuosity of the playing coupled with the unerring interpretive skill at the podium makes this the performance to have. In the final number Bernstein and his players build to breathtaking speed without losing ensemble or clear articulation of the music. Simply the best. vinylrecords.ca/bizet-larlesienne-carmen-karajan-1958-classical-p-18034.html
