Music reviews of Carl Orff: Carmina Burana

Music Review: The definite version
Rating: 5 Stars

Despite the ubiquity of "O fortuna", Orff's Carmina Burana is no unqualified masterpiece. At the same time I think it is a better work than some of its many detractors give it credit for. Whatever the case may be, there should at least be no doubt that Jochum's version is, by some distance, the best on disc. He treats it with a level of respect and attention to detail that is hardly rivaled elsewhere, and his tempo decisions and view of structure seems immensely right, without exception. The Berlin Deutsche Oper Chorus sings with tremendous power, and (rather obviously) there are no rivals for his soloists: Janowitz is splendid, especially in the more lyrical parts, and Stolze and Fischer-Dieskau sing assuredly with the requisite variety. In short, you don't get a better recording of the work than this one, and I think modern conductors and orchestras, instead of trying to compete, really ought to focus on something else - lots of great choral-orchestral works out there equal to or superior to than this one which have never obtained advocacy like this. The remastered sound is truly astonishing as well.

Description of Carl Orff: Carmina Burana

Yes, here it is folks--that irritatingly catchy chorus you first heard in the film Excalibur, or as the background music to the HBO Boxing Specials, and in zillions of other places. What it's not is the music from The Omen, which it clearly inspired. All pieces of music that feature choruses chanting in Latin are not the same (in fact, Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms is much closer to The Omen than this). Orff actually wrote a lot more music, but here's a case where his reputation as a "one work" composer really is justified, for nothing else comes close in musical or popular appeal. This performance was authorized by the composer himself, and that's recommendation enough. --David Hurwitz
