Description
This 2LP set is taken from the recording of 24th April 1960 in Pennsylvania and is remastered onto 180 gram audiophile vinyl.
Carmina Burana - Cantiones Profaneae Secular Songs is a scenic cantata composed by Carl Orff in 1935 and 1936, based on 24 poems from the medieval collection Carmina Burana.
It was first staged in Frankfurt by the Frankfurt Opera on 8 June 1937 and several performances were repeated elsewhere in Germany. The Nazi regime was at first nervous about the erotic tone of some of the poems, but eventually embraced the piece.
It became the most famous piece of music composed in Germany at the time. The popularity of the work continued to rise after the war, and by the 1960s Carmina Burana was well established as part of the international classic repertoire.
