The thrillingly atmospheric soundtrack to a film of Carmen - directed by Francesco Rosi and released in 1984 - this recording unites Plácido Domingo, in one of his greatest roles as Don José, with Julia Migenes Johnson, a spirited, volatile Carmen of striking theatrical immediacy. Lorin Maazel demonstrates his mastery of French style in a performance that does full justice to Bizet's amalgam of wit, elegance, romance and high drama.
"Maazel's buoyant lightness and edgy rhythmic energy are suitably Gallic, and his principals are visually and vocally compelling." (Gramophone)
