Product description

Dis Flower: "Carmen Jones" Film Music is a captivating collection of musical themes from the 1943 Broadway musical "Carmen Jones," composed by Georges Bizet with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. Performed by the MGM Studio Orchestra, this album offers a unique blend of opera and Broadway, featuring an all-African American cast. The 12-track album, released on November 11, 2014, under Sharp Edge Records, spans 45 minutes of enchanting melodies that bring to life the story of Carmen Jones, set against the backdrop of World War II Alabama.

The album opens with an engaging medley, setting the tone for the rest of the tracks. Standout pieces include "Dis Flower," "Card Song," and the powerful "Stan' up An' Fight." The MGM Studio Orchestra masterfully interprets the original compositions, delivering a rich and vibrant soundscape that highlights the emotional depth and cultural significance of the original Broadway production. Whether you're a fan of musical theater, opera, or simply great music, this album is a delightful exploration of a classic American musical.
