Carl Orff: Carmina Burana Cantiones Profanae
London Symphony Orchestra
Richard Hickox
“brilliantly recorded CD … choir makes us understand all about sexual abandon – ‘I am bursting out all over’ is a joy … soprano makes a rapturous contribution … delectable, ravishing climaxes” (Penguin Guide 3 stars)
“the digital sound means we notice things not discovered before: the piano part, and superb tuba contributions … the clarity of the consonants when the chorus hisses out the words ‘O furtuna’ in the closing section is very telling … splendid playing – trumpets and horns are joyously thrusting, the solo bassoon most piquant, while in their round dance the strings are positively smoochy … this (Abbey Rd) version is demonstration class” (Gramophone)
