Album

Michel Plasson directs the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse in this critically-acclaimed recording. This EMI recording features the highly successful dramatic soprano Angela Gheorghiu as Bizet's fiery, fatal Carmen, her husband tenor Roberto Alagna is Don Jose, lyric soprano Inva Mulla Tchako as Micaela and Thomas Hampson as Escamillo the bullfighter. This studio recording is not the soundtrack to any of the films that Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna have made together though I would love to see a film version of Carmen with these two in addition to their Romeo et Juliette and Tosca. 3 CD.

Michel Plasson draws some very fine playing indeed from the Toulouse orchestra, and his choice of speeds seems just right, never resorting to extreme effects. Les Elements Chamber Choir, La Lauzeta Period: Romantic Written: 1873-1874 France Date of Recording: 2002 Venue: Halle-Aux-Grains, Toulouse, France Length: 157 Minutes 31 Secs. Language: French. Mula is a fine Micaela. One of the main reasons I bought this recording is that I am a big Plasson fan and he does not disappoint. His orechestra and chorus are superb throughout and his tempi perfect - he lets the music and the drama unfold naturally.

Thank goodness that, for this starry new recording of Bizet's Carmen, EMI has gone back to the version that brought the opera success throughout the world. Just before the composer died, he told a friend of his plan to substitute the spoken dialogue traditional at the Opéra Comique in Paris with sung recitatives. That is what his colleague, Ernest Guiraud, promptly produced, and it was that version - until recently the one always given outside France - that conquered the world
