Carmen Suite de Concert No.1

More about the book

The book delves into the orchestral suites arranged by Ernest Guiraud from Georges Bizet's opera Carmen after the composer's death. Compiled between 1880 and 1882, the first suite features five selected pieces, including the Prélude and Final (Les Toreadors), with orchestration closely mirroring Bizet's original work. Guiraud's efforts not only preserve Bizet's legacy but also enhance the accessibility of his music for concert performances, showcasing the enduring impact of Carmen in the classical repertoire.
