Herbert von Karajan - Bizet: Carmen (1983) [2019 SACD]

“Karajan’s two versions of “Carmen,” separated by about 20 years, are as different as different operas. While the previous album was a profound drama of fate that thoroughly pursued its dramatic power, the new album is more transparent and sophisticated, with Bizet's music. One of the best records of this opera.”
