Excellent recording; probably the best of the whole Carmina Burana lot!

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, January 23, 2008 by Wade Rice To my ears, this recording has been the reference as to how Carmina Burana should sound. And that isn't accepting the fact that Carl Orff "authorized" this recording as stated on the cover. Everything: soloists, chorus, and orchestra perform with white heat under Jochum's baton, and DG has given this recording the best sound it was capable of at the time the recording was made (1967, I believe). The current reissue has a slight improvement in sound over the original DG issues.
