Title: Orff is a minor composer
Review: Why did Tony Palmer bother with Carl Orff? Orff has only one real great work, Carmina Burana and the rest of his work is not that good. He is known from his educational work which is noted here but there were other, greater composers like Hindemith that made important contributions to education and music. Palmer seems to be interested in whether or not Orff was sympathetic to the Third Reich which remains a question. What you find out here was that Orff did nothing during the Second World War to help anybody and after the war he lied about being part of the opposition. Orff was a coward, an opportunist and is very unimportant as a composer. If it were not for Carmina Burina we would have never heard of him.
