Music reviews of Orff: Carmina Burana

Music Review: San Francisco is great, but not here...
Rating: 3 Stars

Generally San Francisco recordings are among my favorites. The Richard Strauss recordings under Blomstedt are rich and clean, and powerfully convey colors and character. However, this recording of Carmina is hardly up to speed with any of that. The performance is dull and lacks character, though the soloist do quite well throughout. I recommend the Philharmonia recording under Ricardo Muti, or the Carl Orff approved recording with the Berlin Opera under the direction of Eugene Jochum. The SFS recording is a nice addition to the Orff colection, if for nothing else than variety.

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 Hurwitz
