description
In 1926 Jacques Feyder's silent movie Carmen came into the cinemas for which Ernesto Halffter wrote the film music. Halffter, a pupil of Manuel de Falla, chose Andalusian themes to match the film's theme, enveloping the love drama about the beautiful gypsy girl Carmen and the dragoon officer Don José with an impressive acoustic atmosphere. For almost a century, Feyder's Carmen music, which is miles away from Bizet's opera, was forgotten, only to appear on CD for the first time in full orchestration. The Carmen film music by Ernesto Halffter is a real discovery, presenting the Spanish scenery in impressionistic colours full of originality and intensity.
