Revox Master Tape, CARL ORFF - CARMINA BURANA

Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Leipzig
Rundfunkchor Leipzig
Conductor: Herbert Kegel

Recording: October/November 1974, Versöhnungskirche Leipzig

Carl Orff, born in Munich in 1895, was one of the most fascinating figures in musical theatre of his time. His distinctive and unmistakable style was shaped by his fascination with sonic experimentation – a circumstance that makes listening to this uncompressed recording a particular pleasure.

The traditional orchestral instrumentation with choir and soloists, as well as a large, slightly unusual percussion group, creates the typical "Orff" sound.

Herbert Kegel is considered one of the leading, if not the undisputed best, conductors of contemporary music. Carl Orff himself was a fervent admirer of Kegel's recordings.
