In almost all available English-language biographies, serious errors abound, often informed by romantic misconceptions surrounding the life of this remarkable musician.  First published in 1991, Christoph Schwandt's Georges Bizet: A Biography is now widely recognized as the definitive work on this misunderstood composer's life.  Drawing on significant recent research gathered for the revised and augmented 2011 German edition - now translated into English by Cynthia Klohr - Schwandt rewrites and restores the historical record concerning Bizet's achievements and contributions to the world of music.  Hardcover, 148 p.
