Music reviews of Carl Orff: Carmina Burana
Music Review: A zillion-seller, now in best sound but badly faded
Rating: 3 Stars
A previous reviewer at Amazon entitles his post "Good ol' Eugene Ormandy," tempting me to supply a one-word review: Exactly. Here he is in all his bland, limp, golden-voiced splendor. I owned the original LP four decades ago. Ormandy was an entry-level coductor for millions of young people who had no idea of his shortcomings. Now that a dozen much better Carmina Buranas have passed through the turnstile, the amateur chorus from Rutgers Univ. sounds blurry, sleepy, and, well, amateurish. The vocal soloists hold up well, though, and sing smoothly, without strain, which isn't easy in this work. But turn to Eugen Jochum's classic reading on DG made around this time, and suddenly the music acquires guts and impact.
Ormandy's conducting is, as ever, proficient but bland. The Philadephians play beautifully, and the original analog sound has come up very well in this new remastering. I can see buying this CD out of pure nostaliga, and there are young listeners still thriving on the famous Philadelphia Sound. For all that, this is a badly faded performance.
