About

Ferenc Fricsay conducted Georges Bizet’s “Carmen” relatively seldom in the opera house but more frequently in the recording studio. Audite here presents the first production that Fricsay recorded for the RIAS Berlin in 1951. It contains a compilation of the key scenes from the opera.

Fricsay’s interpretation possesses a surprising modernity. The orchestra sound is slender and transparent and he picks fresh but not exaggerated tempi. His choice of soloists reveals marked contrasts in character.
