Andre Previn, London Symphony Orchestra - Orff: Carmina Burana - LP

2LP

André Previn's landmark 1974 recording of Orff's Carmina Burana with the London Symphony Orchestra remains one of the most electrifying accounts of this exuberant cantata. From the momentous "O Fortuna" to the rapturous closing chorus, Previn brings out the rhythmic vitality, sensuality, and theatrical flair of the work. Soloists Sheila Armstrong, Gerald English, and Thomas Allen shine alongside the London Symphony Chorus, captured in the acoustically rich Kingsway Hall.
