Bizet Organ Album 
   Add to basketBasket

Georges Bizet (1838-1875) studied organ at the Paris Conservatoire and was even awarded a first prize for his playing. However, he soon forsook the organ in favor of opera, and even the few minor works he published for organ were also designated for pianoforte as an alternative. This is a pity, for Bizet was one of the most imaginative orchestrators, especially in his use of wind instruments. This volume 'reclaims' for the organ ten of Bizet's most famous movements which lend themselves well to the instrument. They are selected from the operas Carmen and The Pearl Fishers, the incidental music to L'Arlésienne, the Symphony in C and Jeux d'enfants.
