A journey to Bizet's Carmen Suite No. 1

Available for 22 days

Sara Mohr-Pietsch plots a musical course to the Carmen Suite No. 1 by the French composer Georges Bizet - a collection of the best bits from Bizet's classic opera, arranged for orchestra after the composer's death by his friend Ernest Guiraud. En route we hear other work by Guiraud, who also completed Offenbach's 'The Tales of Hoffman', as well as other music inspired by the cultural traditions of Spain. To listen to this programme (using most smart speakers), just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Music Map.'
