This review is from: Bizet: Carmen Suite; L'arlesienne Suites (Audio CD)

Let's face it --- Bizet is very nearly impossible to screw up, no matter who incompetent one might be. Certainly nobody will accuse Charles Dutoit of incompetence when it comes to French music of this era. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that these suites are right in Dutoit's wheelhouse.

At the same time, there is nothing in particular that makes this recording stand out from any other which I have heard. Also, the liner notes are virtually non-existent.

In short, you won't regret buying this one...but it isn't as though you should feel the need to move heaven & earth to get it.
