Music reviews of Orff: Carmina Burana
Music Review: Melody Matters
Rating: 5 Stars
Much of 20th century music is more interested in texture than it is in melody which goes a long way in explaining the lack of interest in serious 20th century music. Orff ignored the rise of atonal music and is thus belittled. This recording by SFS and Blomstedt highlights the beauty of this piece. SFS is vastly underrated. Because it lacks the media exposure of the east coast and the historical elevation of european orchestras it is often overlooked; but for the past couple of decades under the leadership of both Blomstedt and MTT, it has consistently delivered the best live performances and recordings of any major orchestra in the world.
Description of Orff: Carmina Burana
This Grammy-winning recording of Orff's perennially popular selection of Latin lyrics is quite good. What makes the performance so successful is Herbert Blomstedt's determination to focus on beautiful singing of the tunes, rather than merely pounding out the rhythm and letting the chips fall where they may. The result is uncommonly colorful and musically satisfying. Orff was probably the least original composer that ever lived, and it was all downhill from here. If you like this piece (and who doesn't?) and want something more, you must turn to Orff's source of inspiration. Try Stravinsky's Les Noces (The Wedding) or the Symphony of Psalms. After all, if Orff could do it, so can you. --David HurwitzGeneral CDs
