Music reviews of Trionfi (Trittico teatrale): Carmina Burana, Catulli Carmina, and Trionfo di Afrodite

Music Review: Recommended for the two less familiar works; the Carmina Burana is disappointing
Rating: 4 Stars

Eugen Jochum's Carmina Burana is still considered by many to be the top choice for this rather hackneyed (but still effective) work. But the benchmark in that case is his slightly later stereo version, and this mono version from 1952 might not come across as equally appealing, at least not for listeners demanding the sonic spectacularity and power (and, fair enough, shimmering, radiant details) I suspect most listeners are looking for in this work. Jochum has even recorded Catulli Carmina in stereo (I have not heard that recording) - this one stems from 1954 - but it is his only recording of the third installment in the trilogy, Trionfo di Afrodite.

It is, however, not only the sound quality which is superior in those later recordings. Having at hand Gundula Janowitz, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Gerhard Stolze gives you a well-neigh unbeatable team (and Arleen Auger, Wieslaw Ochman and Janet Baker in Catulli Carmina isn't much inferior, I would assume. And while the team he has here does a decent job, in a workmanlike manner, one cannot honestly say that Elfriede Trötschel is anything but a disappointment after Janowitz. Indeed, it is hard to find any good reason to obtain this version of Carmina Burana. The soloists are frankly often not above the mediocre and the choral singing often no more than acceptable. The orchestral contributions are strong, however, and Jochum certainly has the measure of the work. It is a powerful reading - not quite as stunning as his later attempt, but there are moments when a sense of fresh wonder would not be recaptured later.

Catulli Carmina is a better proposition, even though it reputedly does not surpass Jochum's later version - the soloists are stronger here than in the Carmina Burana, the choir is better and Jochum's Bavarian Radio Symphony orchestra is quite scintillating. The set, however, is primarily worth acquiring for the Trionfo di Afrodite; as a piece of music the level of inspiration might perhaps be a little lower and more mechanical than in the two other works, but it is still a rather effective work, especially in Jochum's hands where it sounds variegated and almost subtle at times. The soloist work is also very good here. No texts with this reissue, but it is still a recommendable acquisition for the two less well-known and pretty powerful works. Look elsewhere for the Carmina Burana, though.

Jochum's Orff is about as good as it gets, full of the vibrant energy that suffuses the works in this triptych, but he also makes the most of the music's lyric passages. Orff, who ought to know, called Jochum's versions of his work "definitive." Though longtime favorite Carmina Burana is an oft-recorded staple, Jochum's 1952 first version still more than holds its own even with outstanding stereo competition. This set also offers the only compilation of all three works, and if you like Carmina Burana, you'll probably like them, too. They share their more popular sibling's power and rhythmic drive and the excitement offered by endless rounds of prominent percussion, pounding ostinatos, and catchy tunes. Catulli Carmina is based on poems of Catullus. Trionfo, based on poems by Catullus, Sappho, and Euripides, is, like Stravinsky's Les Noces, a wedding cantata. The sound, especially in the first two works, is amazingly fresh; only the lack of stereo and traces of not very troublesome distortion hint at the recording's age. But the excellent soloists come up clear and the big moments have plenty of impact. DG doesn't supply the often bawdy texts, but does provide a scene-by-scene synopsis. It's good to have these classic performances back. --Dan Davis
