Bruce McKinney responds to me about Orff's Carmina Burana: >>My two favorites: Fruebeck de Burgos on EMI. Best choral work, with the >>choir trained by choral legend Wilhelm Pitz. Kegel on Berlin Classics - >>the only recording to play Orff's work in the orchestration Orff specifies. > >Steve, please explain your orchestration remark. To my knowledge, there >is only one orchestration for the work. Details, please. Some of the percussion originally specified by Orff is apparently a bit rare, so orchestras substitute more standard instruments. As far as I know, the only recording which performs with all the instruments Orff specifies is Kegel's. Steve Schwartz
