Overview

This Classica release presents a captivating collection of works by Georges Bizet and his Symphonie Nr. 1 in C major. The album features two suites from his famous orchestral music L'Arlésienne, both Suite No. 1 and Suite No. 2, alongside Bizet’s lesser-known but expressive Symphonie Nr. 1.

The London Festival Orchestra under the baton of Alfred Scholz brings to life the vivid and colorful melodies of Bizet’s suites, originally composed for incidental music to the play L'Arlésienne. Suite No. 1 and Suite No. 2 highlight Bizet’s brilliant orchestration and emotional range, including the famous Farandole, while the symphony offers a window into his early compositional talent, with rich harmonies and lively rhythms.
