Carmen Fantasie
I've recently finished Those Endearing Young Charms and I'm working on Pantomime. Today, my lesson teacher gave me Carmen Fantasie(Composed by Bizet, collated by Frank Simon) and I get to choose between that and Napoli. They're similar works (being operas and theme and variations) so I'm recomended to just choose one and let the other euphonium player work on the other. I have Steven Meads Euphony CD which has a fantastic recording of Napoli, but I do not have a recording of Carmen. My resources are basically Naxos and Youtube (I bought the cd at TMEA recently).
Can anyone help me find a recording?
Also, If you were in my shoes, which way would you lean between Carmen and Napoli?
