United StatesThis Jochum reading of the Orff Carmina Burana has been a peak of golden age stereo for many decades. The composer was present during the sessions, and it is widely believed that being present gave the composer leeway to achieve what the composer presumably wanted to hear. On top of that global excellence, the soloists are a challenge to exceed. Baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau takes on the bulk of the solo voice work, so masterfully that few have been able to match him, let alone surpass him. Gerhard Stolze does a vocal character as the quintissentially roasted Swan. Gundula Janowitz is among the top-notch sopranos who can handle the high tessitura, and goes farther into sheer tonal purity as her rather unique voice permits. The Deutchen Oper Berlin brings excellent orchestra playing and fine choral singing to convey the beating heart of Orff's musical ritual. Who knew it would get this good? Bravo, and Thanks!
