Bizet: Carmen / Karajan, Price, Corelli, Merrill, Freni
Karajan's RCA version, made in Vienna in 1964, owes much to Leontyne Price's seductive, smoky-toned Carmen... Robert Merrill sings with gloriously firm tone, while Mirella Freni is enchanting as Micaëla. -- The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs & DVDs [2003/4 edition]
