Music reviews of Carl Orff: Carmina Burana
Music Review: Very good, but live is always better.
Rating: 4 Stars
I purchased this recording after recently attending a live performance for the first time. We were actually sitting on stage in the corner in front of the chorus and behind the percussion and pianos of the orchestra. Watching and listening to all the fireworks from that perpective of course makes any recording a letdown. Robert Shaw was a master choral conductor and I have most all of his choral recordings with the Atlanta Symphony. After reading other reviews, I purchased the Leonard Slatkin/St Louis Symphony recording of Carmina Burana. You hear more of the percussion in it which is more like what I heard on stage. I'm waiting to receive the surround sound DVD version. Hope it let's me get even closer to reliving that live performance.
Description of Carl Orff: Carmina Burana
As much as critics--and many musicians--love to hate this work, Carmina Burana is a uniquely entertaining and justly popular theatrical masterpiece. This collection of 13th-century secular poems, originally found in a Bavarian monastery, were selected, set to original music, and arranged for a large modern orchestra, vocal soloists, and choirs by German composer Carl Orff. Orff ingeniously used these large forces to create a work of astonishing and powerful simplicity. The simplest melodies, primal rhythms, and rudimentary orchestration combine for an unforgettably dynamic musical and dramatic experience. This is one of the first digital recordings of the work, and one of the more successful in balancing the large numbers of singers and instrumentalists. Judith Blegen's lovely rendition of "In trutina" is worth many hearings, and the energy and excitement generated in the sections for full choir and orchestra are something you just have to experience. --David VernierGeneral CDs
