A New Benchmark for Popular Bizet Works Sep 02, 2008
Bizet: L'Arlesienne; Carmen
What a wonderful recording! As a former orchestra member and the owner of a small recording studio, people ask me to recommend recordings that sound like the listener is sitting in with the symphony. This this their recording. (It sounds like you are sitting . . . probably with the violas I would say.) The musicianship of this ensemble (Les Musiciens du Louve - Grenoble) is exemplary. The recording by engineers Laure Casenave-Pere and Vincent Mons is intimate, yet euphonic, and lets you hear just how exceptional these musicians really are. In light of this album, conductor Marc Minkowski will probably be acknowledged as the greatest living interpreter of Bizet. Packaging the CD in a nice little book is simply the icing on the cake. It's a great addition to the library of the fussiest music critic, audiophile, or any lover of truly great music.

Very special recordings of "standard" Bizet works Jun 21, 2008
These frequently recorded Bizet works (L'Arlesienne suites and incidental music, and Carmen suite) receive a very refreshing expression in this new recording by Marc Minkowski and his Louvre musicians. French music is unique and is best performed by the French. In these recordings the band captures the feeling of the music like none other that I have heard.
