Ernest Ansermet conducts L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande for this audiophile 45rpm 180g Vinyl reissue of the 1960 recording of Bizet's Carmen & L'Arlisienne Suites.

The 19th century suites with their collection of favorite songs and instrumental excerpts from operas are the clear forerunners of today's "Best Of" culture. The Carmen Suite was assembled after Bizet's death and brought the operatic masterpiece into the concert hall. The overture is fresh and rousing, the toreador theme marches in proudly and purposefully, followed by the destiny motif in the minor key which burns itself into ones ear and mind. With every bar it becomes obvious that this suite is not so much a series of excerpts but rather the true substance of its creator's musical ideas.

All that remained of the five-act play L'Arlesienne after its unsuccessful premiere was Bizet's incidental music, which he himself orchestrated lavishly and premiered with success. Similar to Carmen, popular melodies are treated with the composer's own unique style to make them ageless, and Ernest Ansermet and his orchestra stages them delightfully for all eternity.

Ernest Ansermet is the most famous of Switzerland's conductors. For some years Professor of Mathematics at Lausanne University, he left this post to devote himself to music, studying composition under Ernest Bloch. He eventually concentrated on conducting and from 1915 - when he was already a personal friend of Stravinsky - was intermittently engaged with the Diaghilev Ballet.
