“And also yet another Carmina Burana, but a most worthwhile one. This work requires a certain wild abandon in the solos and choral parts to depict the licentious and hard-drinking exploits of the undisciplined goliards who created these songs and dances. The ancient poems, simple melodies and repetitive rhythms are designed to create a sort of magical and timelss atmosphere. I had an earlier DVD-A release of the work on Teldec with Zubin Mehta conducting; not nearly as exciting as Thielemann’s effort - which we reviewed in CD form in November 1998. I said at that time my only beef was that it was too distantly-miked. Well, now with the surround mix that’s no problem. I predicted the CD might become one of the DGG’s first DVD-A releases. That was a bit premature, but now we have it and it’s good.”
