Ksenija Sidorova - Carmen (2016) [CD-FLAC]

Carmen meets Fiesta; a vibrant and exotic new instrumental take on Georges Bizet's operatic masterpiece, infused with a modern sound and original Latin spirit.

The melodies of the world's most famous opera re-imagined in captivating Oriental colours and the irresistible rhythms of Latin American dance.

Ksenija Sidorova interprets the title role, tracing the passionate, tragic destiny of this iconic Femme Fatale on her debut album for Deutsche Grammophon.

New arrangements of the opera's music alternate between a bravura band of winds, strings, piano and percussion and the inviting warmth of symphonic luxury.

Ksenija introduced her Carmen in November-December 2014 at the Night of the Proms, performing a medley of Carmen highlights (“Carmen-Spiel”) with symphony orchestra to tens of thousands in major arena and stadium venues across Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
