Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra Claus Peter Flor conductor Susanne Bernard soprano Dominik Wortig tenor Aris Argiris bass Transylvania State Philharmonic Choir ORFF Carmina Burana Carmina Burana is one of the dozen or so most popular works of 20th century classical music. Its appeal lies in an uncanny ability to reach deeply into our subconscious, to stimulate instinctive elemental urges and to celebrate the joy of living with unbridled enthusiasm. Through folklike melodies, athletic freshness and, above all, primal rhythmic energy, Carmina Burana draws its listeners into oneness with the universe.
