"There is nothing wrong with this fine recording of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra led by Jesus Lopez-Cobos. They play wonderfully. The music in general is well known and easily identified but I find it a bit boring. Especially the Carmen Suite. The L'arlesienne Suite No. 1 is more interesting and the minuetto is down right beautiful. Symphony No. 1 is expressive and has moments of engaging expression.



For me, it's a matter of content.Although not my favorite composer, I find Lopez-Cobos to always find ways to bring the orchestra to an embracing warm glow. If you love Bizet, this is a very fine disc."
