I have listened to so many versions of Carmina Burana and I have two different ones that I now own. I've come to the assumption that you can not find a definitve version of Carmina Burana. If only you could combine elements from all of your favorite versions of this most infamous piece. Oh well, with Ormandy's version I can say that you'll have an accurate version of Carmina Burana. Actually, this is perhaps as accurate a version of Orff's masterpiece as you're likely to find. Down to every note it shines in accuracy. Please forgive the fact that this recording of Carmina Burana is a 1960 one as it still has a great sound even with the slight hissing you're likely to notice from time to time. Get this if you're simply looking for accuracy. However, if you're looking for the big bang to impress your friends with then perhaps you'll want to look elsewhere. --- "bigmikedc" (Sugar Hill, GA United States)

Philadelphia Orchestra is truly one of my favarite orchestras, while Stoki (the only conductor who shook hands with Mickey Mouse) and Ormandy were around. And I love this recording of Orff's Carmina Burana. Although it doesn't really give much excitement on rather exciting music, the performance is truly delicate, pure, and very skilled. The strings and the woodwinds are excellent and tends to show off more, exact opposite to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which has really good brass. The soloists and the choir did an excellent job. The brass are fair enough. If you want Ormandy, you should buy this CD. --- Shota (Torrance, CA)
