Description:

[Encore Press: Mercury Living Presence 50] The overture "Homeland" reveals the patriotic passion for one's homeland against the backdrop of the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. The suite from the opera "Carmen" is a passionate Spanish musical composition. From "L'Arles," which shows the best of dramatic music set in the pastoral landscape of southern France, the composer himself arranged the first suite for large orchestra, and the second suite was compiled by Guiraud. This recording of Bizet's orchestral masterpieces is performed with flair by the famous French conductor Paray and his hand-picked Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Rubidium clock cutting. [Performed by] Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Conductor: Paul Paray
