Carl Orff’s cantata, Carmina Burana, a composition that continually attracts an audience both inside and outside of classical music. Rhythmically unpredictable, its musical content veering from the devotional to the sensual and savage, Orff’s masterpiece requires, and here receives, inspirational leadership from Daniel Harding. He is joined by a superb trio of vocal soloists: soprano Patricia Petibon, tenor Hans-Werner Bunz, and baritone Christian Gerhaher alongside the Chorus and Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio.
