TEL00006 (黑膠)羅伯.蕭 / 卡爾.歐福: 布蘭詩歌; 亨德密特: 交響變容 Robert Shaw / Carl Orff: Carmina Burana (Telarc)

Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, one of the 20th century's most popular works for chorus and orchestra, is a secular cantata that combines archaic poetry, simple, folk-like melodies, and primal rhythms to create images of the eternal springtime of the human soul. In this highly regarded performance, conducted by the great choral master Robert Shaw, rhythm drives this intensely dramatic work. This best-selling title has been highly collectible on vinyl since its release in 1981. Given Robert Shaw's deep understanding not only of orchestral conducting but also of the use of a chorus, it's not surprising that Telarc would have him lead what has become one of the most widely performed works for chorus and orchestra in the twentieth century, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. All songs are sung in either medieval Latin or German, and these 25 poems can be bombastic, sorrowful, gut wrenching, or dramatic – all qualities Shaw easily draws from the orchestra and chorus. A replica of the original libretto is included in the LP. Over 75,000 copies of this title have been sold since its release in 1981.
