Carmina Burana

Album by Carl Orff & Alina Wunderlin & Max Emanuel Cenčić & Russell Braun & Zürcher Sing-Akademie & Tonhalle‐Orchester Zürich & Paavo Järvi

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 for large chorus, soloists and orchestra, characterised by elemental rhythms, modal melodies and declamatory choral writing, and it marked a turning point in Orff's career that shaped his later emphasis on rhythm, percussion and theatrical staging within twentieth-century choral-orchestral repertoire.
