Classical Music Playlist, October 25, 2023
As a 17 year old student at the Paris Conservatory in 1855, Georges Bizet composed a symphony that he soon forgot about and never mentioned in any of his notebooks or letters. Eighty years later, in 1935 - sixty years after his death [in 1875] - Bizet’s early symphony had its premiere and caused a sensation. It was immediately hailed as a youthful masterpiece. Famed choreographer George Balanchine even choreographed it into a ballet in 1947. As we celebrate his birthday today [1838], Georges Bizet's early Symphony in C is today's Midday Masterpiece.
