Review title: NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY
Product review: Having performed Carmina Burana with a large chorus, I might have a little more experience with this piece than the average person who has only listened to recordings. I found this particular version of Carmina to be a little on the melodramatic side. Don't get me wrong-Carmina IS a dramatic piece, but too much of a good thing...just isn't good.Specifically, some of the slower solos were too drawn out. The tempo needed some help too. I felt like the entire recording was being dragged through molasses.Maybe I'm just used to a certain sound...I certainly agree that music appreciation is subject to each individual's interpretation. But if you buy this CD and feel the same way as I do, consider purchasing the Eugen Jochum directed version. It's sold on Amazon for a few dollars cheaper than this recording and it's sounds better!
