Georges Bizet: Orchestral suites played by Orchestre de la Bastille with Myung-Whun Chung

Update: 2021-02-13

Description

Bizet's bright and dazzling suites for orchestra (Carmen, L'Arlesienne, and Jeux d'enfants) are full of energy, the spirit of Provence and Spain. Here, they are played by the Orchestre de la Bastille (orchestra of the Paris opera) with their chief conductor at the time, Myung-Whun Chung.

We tell about the circumstances when the works were created, in the last years of the composer's life, and also mention Gounod, Liszt, Lully, Berlioz, and many other great names. A short review of the scandal surrounding the opening of the Opera Bastille in 1989 is also part of this episode.
