Georges Bizet
Symphony No. 1 in C
Charles Munch and the RP
Bizet’s first symphony and certainly one of my favorite pieces of ballet music. I was lucky enough to see the ballet of the same name, made by Balanchine, at ABT in New York during the Regan years.
So, what were you doing at age 17? Bizet made this for a school project.
This 1964 record doesn’t have a pop click or any surface noise at all. Sweet sweet sweet.
