Bizet: Carmen - The First Complete Recording
(Hermann Bachmann, Emmy Destinn, Berlin State Opera Orchestra
)
The Marston label's new release of the first-ever complete recording of "Carmen" attests to the magic new technologies can visit on the early days of recording. Here, a distant golden age of singing and style gets a new lease on life in this German-language recording made in 1908--just over three decades after the world premiere of the opera itself. Take a look at this thrilling "Carmen" as well as other legendary performances on our list of significant historic recordings.
