Having orchestrated Gershwin's piano works (at the request of Gershwin's family), numerous Grieg songs, and more recently a symphonic synthesis of Janácek's The Makropulos Case, José Serebrier compiled a sequence of orchestral interludes from Bizet's Carmen to try to extend its magic to the concert hall. Carmen Symphony, unlike the well-known Carmen Suites, follows the thread of the opera. Serebrier has always been fascinated by the music of the Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas, and Mexican Dance is his homage to this original composer. This, and Serebrier's own Night Cry are world première recordings. The United States Marine Band, the oldest professional musical institution in the United States, regularly invites prominent conductors. This is a recording of a concert performance in 2007.

Reviews

stereoplay 08/08: »Allein ihre Live-Performance eines zwölfteiligen Blas-Arrangements der schönsten Stücke aus Bizets ›Carmen‹ ist ein so lupenrein und klangschön gespielter Dauer-Ohrwurm, dass man sich nur wundert über den runden Ton, die perfekte Klangbalance und die Musikalität dieser aus lauter echten ›Marines‹ zusammengesetzten Militärtruppe. Auch das Restprogramm klingt angenehm unmilitärisch: Es unterstreicht vielmehr die atemberaubende Virtuosität und die hohe Spielkultur dieser Traditionsband.«
