Orff: Carmina Burana

Zoltan Kodaly: Missa Brevis
Carl Orff: Carmina Burana

Carl Orff’s magical masterpiece cantata of medieval poems, ‘Carmina Burana’ tells of the ephemeral, cyclical nature of life, with all its pleasures and perils, themes as eternal and fresh today as they were then. Zoltan Kodaly’s Missa Brevis, a moving, nostalgic 'hymn of hope' to his war-ravaged homeland, completes the programme. Soprano Grace Davidson, tenor Christopher Lemmings and baritone Gareth John join The Bach Choir and Philharmonia Orchestra under the baton of David Hill
