Notes/Reviews
This Grammy-winning recording of Orff's perennially popular selection of Latin lyrics is quite good. What makes the performance so successful is Herbert Blomstedt's determination to focus on beautiful singing of the tunes, rather than merely pounding out the rhythm and letting the chips fall where they may. The result is uncommonly colorful and musically satisfying. Orff was probably the least original composer that ever lived, and it was all downhill from here. If you like this piece (and who doesn't?) and want something more, you must turn to Orff's source of inspiration. Try Stravinsky's Les Noces (The Wedding) or the Symphony of Psalms. After all, if Orff could do it, so can you. --David Hurwitz
