Carmina Burana

Album by Carl Orff & Christiane Oelze & Simon Keenlyside & David Kuebler & Chor der Deutschen Oper Berlin & Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin & Christian Thielemann

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata by German composer Carl Orff, composed in 1935–36 and first performed in 1937. The work sets medieval Latin and Middle High German poems to dramatic, rhythmically driven orchestral and choral forces, employing modal melodies, stark percussion and repetitive ostinati, and represents a pivotal point in Orff's output for its emphasis on elemental rhythm and theatrical immediacy.
First released: 24th May 1999
