Negative Positive
Title: Unbelievable
Review: First, don't get any other version without reading the fine print. This one has the full orchestra, full adult chorus, full children's chorus, and world-class soloists that are called for in the original score. Most other versions cut corners. Trust me, you don't want "Carmina Burana Lite."Second, I was blown away by this work, and I am not generally a fan of 20th century music. The opening chorus is famous, and rightly so, but it really comes into its own when heard in context, especially when it is reprised as the ending chorus.Third, the first time you listen to it, you simply MUST listen to the whole thing uninterrupted, at good volume with top-quality headphones or speakers. Otherwise, you won't be doing the work and the recording justice.
