Free Music Review: Superlative Playing of Bizet's Suites from Abbado & LSO
Hit: 5 Stars
These not-so-vintage late 1970s/early 1980s recordings of Bizet's great orchestral suites are available now on Deutsche Grammophon's latest low-priced label. There is indeed much to recommend in these recordings of Bizet's "L'Arlésienne Suites Nos. 1 & 2; Carmen Suite No. 1", with excellent, precise, and warm performances from the London Symphony Orchestra under a younger Claudio Abbado's baton. Most noteworthy indeed are the sterling musicianship demonstrated by the orchestra's winds and strings. Having heard other recordings of these works, it is hard to think of another that would be more preferable than these. And yet, I must express my own disappointment that Deutsche Grammophon choose not to include Bizet's "Carmen Suite No. 2". Still, I do think that there is ample superb music making present here that's worth the rather abbreviated length (less than 48 minutes) of this otherwise perfect CD.
