"A failure at its premiere, Bizet's Carmen began to find its enormous success only a few months later-and a few months after its composer's death. The opera's acclaim is mirrored by the popularity of the first orchestral suite drawn from it-like a second suite-by Ernest Guiraud, who also provided sung recitatives for the opera after Bizet's death." - AMG.
This LP is part of the prestigious Thomas Galloway collection and is so stamped on the back cover. It was sold (as well as the rest of the collection) to support the 70th season of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra.

Surface noise consists of very low-level 'crackles' on some very quiet passages and 3 audible 'ticks' on Side I
