5.0 out of 5 stars Not just Carmen, but L'Arlésienne as well! 29 Dec 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
The Carmen suites and the L'Arlésienne suites are two most commonly paired pieces when it comes to Bizet's 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 L'Arlésienne suites seem to be played at a much subdued level. Not so with this CD. Together, Bernstein and the NY Philharmonic made sure that the L'Arlésienne suites receive as much care as the their more popular counterparts. The second of the two L'Arlésienne suites, especially, is played with an amazing attention to details. The NY Philharmonic is appropriately delicate when needs to be (suite 2 mvt 3: Menuet), and it can also be powerful and lively (suite 2 mvt 4: Farandale). Definitely buy this CD, and not just for its two Carmen suites (which are, of course, first rate also)!

5.0 out of 5 stars There is no finer version of Carmen to be had. 19 Jun 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
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 rythmic 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bizet fan 17 Feb 2000
By Jim Arsenault - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I loved this cd for many reasons. It is a very powerful and moving recording that I feel truely unleashes the energy and depth of the movements. I am in an orchestra, and when we played this piece, I felt like I never had before about my instrument. It is a true gem that I am glad to suggest!
