Notes and Editorial Reviews
"Carmen sets of more recent vintage offer more authentic presentations of Bizet's text, to be sure. Yet Beecham's theatrical flair still burns brightly and will enrich Carmen lovers who have yet to experience this delightful, ageless recording." - Jed Distler, Fanfare [Review of the original EMI release.]
