[CD audition comment]
Sharp The sharpness of the Rattle conductor that brings out a sharp and gorgeous sound from the Berlin Philharmonic is outstanding. Kaufman's Jose, who fascinates the audience with his perfect vocal technique and outstanding emotional expression, is also very impressive. Cogener's Carmen is a great song, but it must be called Miss Cast.

[Comments on new CD]
All songs from Bizet's opera "Carmen" by Rattle and BPO. It was recorded in a concert format in April 2012, and reproduces the "interpretation at the time of the premiere" that Rattle and Cogener were particular about. The vocal group also performed a fulfilling singing.
