Georges Bizet is best known for his operatic masterpiece, Carmen. L'Arlésienne - the girl from Arles (in Provence) was composed as incidental music to a play by Daudet. Nowadays the play is little-known but Bizet's music has become very familiar from the two orchestral suites, the first by Bizet himself and the second after his death by a friend Ernest Guiraud.

This is a rare recording of the complete incidental music.
