Based on the subject of the eponymous novella by Prosper Merimee, 'Carmen' is George Bizet's last work. The composer died a few weeks after the unsuccessful world premiere in Paris on 3 March 1875. To the opera-lover of today, it is inconceivable that this work with its numerous wonderful 'Spanish' melodies and rhythms - developed by Bizet virtually 'from afar' as he had never travelled through Spain - could ever be a failure. Over the course of time, however, 'Carmen' has become one of the most popular and most frequently played operas long since.Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

In Paris, seiner Heimatstadt, hat er fast sein ganzes Leben verbracht. In Spanien ist er nie gewesen. Und doch gilt Bizets Carmen als die spanische Oper schlechthin. Ihren uberwaltigenden Erfolg auf der ganzen Welt erlebte ihr Komponist nicht mehr. Genau drei Monate nach der Urauffuhrung im Marz 1875 starb er im Alter von nur 36 Jahren. Noch heute steht sein bemerkenswertes Gesamtwerk im Schatten dieses einen Meisterwerks.Die erstmals 1991 erschienene Biografie von Christoph Schwandt ist nach wie vor die einzige in deutscher Sprache. Das Standardwerk, das wichtige Forschungsergebnisse und Erkenntnisse der zweiten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts berucksichtigt, wird nun aktualisiert und erweitert vorgelegt.

Advancing alto saxophonists will enjoy being featured on this expressive movement from Bizet's Symphony! The timbre of the alto saxophone is perfectly suited to bring out the slightly exotic colors of the melody, yet the band accompaniment remains in a classic style, the combination of which is intriguing to the ear. The overall result is very flattering to the capabilities of skilled saxophonists. The great French Composer, Georges Bizet, began writing his symphony in October 1855 and finished it in November of the same year. A remarkable achievement. In spite of his diligence, Bizet never heard his symphony performed. It was not heard until February of 1935 in Basel, Switzerland. The symphony is in four movements, of which the Adagio is the second.
