London Symphony Orchestra Carmina Burana - Cantione Profanae CD

Brilliantly recorded CD... choir makes us understand all about sexual abandon - 'I am bursting out all over' is a joy... soprano makes a rapturous contribution... delectable, ravishing climaxes" (Penguin Guide 3 stars) "the digital sound means we notice things not discovered before: the piano part, and superb tuba contributions... The clarity of the consonants when the chorus hisses out the words 'O fortuna' in the closing section is very telling... splendid playing - trumpets and horns are joyously thrusti ng, the solo bassoon most piquant, while in their round dance the strings are positively smoochy... this (Abbey Rd) version is demonstrati on class" (Gramophone).
