Reviews :

Carl Orff's work from 1935 and 1936, which the composer himself did not describe as an opera, oratorio or cantata, comprises 24 texts in Latin, Middle High German and Old French in the libretto. “Carmina Burana”, which premiered on June 8, 1937, at the Frankfurt Opera House, continues to enjoy great popularity. The setting of the work, which mainly covers secular themes such as happiness and prosperity, the transience of life and the dangers of pleasures such as drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust, is a completely new composition, driven by Orff's rhythmic vision.

Carmina Burana quickly became one of the most popular pieces of serious music and the most performed choral/orchestral work of the 20th century, with approximately 20 performances worldwide every month! In particular, the powerful choral setting of CB 17 (“O Fortuna”), with which the work begins, is so popular that it is often used in advertising or as film music – mostly in the recording by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Shaw. Although Orff only authorized the reduced version for soloists, large mixed choir, children's choir, two pianos, and percussion by his student Wilhelm Killmayer, the recording with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under Václav Smetáček is considered particularly successful by connoisseurs: The Czech conductor, composer, and oboist succeeded in bringing out the refined simplicity of the work and the power of its melodies with unabashed emotion.

AudioNautes Recordings now presents the sonically impressive reissue of the 1961 Supraphon pressing – the first commercial stereo version of “Carmina Burana” using 4 RCA DX77 microphones and a Telefunken M10 reel-to-reel for the recording process. The LP, which was mastered from analog tapes, was pressed at Vinyl de Paris on transparent 200-gram vinyl and cut at 33 RPM. Enjoy “Carmina Burana” in unprecedented sound quality!
