Bizet: Carmen

This release is a digital premiere (in its complete version) of an underrated version of Carmen. It features a splendid vocal cast with Jennifer Larmore as the title character, an irresistible Samuel Ramey (who was a specialist of the role he sung dozens of times on stage all over the world) as Escamillo, and one of the most convincing Micaëlas in the whole discography by Angela Gheorghiu, in her first studio recording.
