I've got many hundreds of CDs, some from 1985, and not one has ever failed to play on my slightly ancient Technics SL-PG5 player. Any rare cases of jumping or sticking has been instantly cured by using my decades old HMV CD Lens Cleaner.

My particular problem is that once the Bizet CD is put in the player, it whirrs bizarrely then the display tells me that it is
'not known'. The disc doesn't even launch.

Just a thought: I wonder if the disc is a copy burnt from a download? If the disc is not fully Phillips Red Book CD then older players may not recognise it. Computer disc drives are more tolerant and will play almost anything in my experience.

No, Jonfan, it's an original disc from Naive.
