Orff: Carmina Burana - Cantiones Profanae / Hickox, London Symphony Orchestra

The digital sound means we notice things not discovered before: the piano part, and superb tuba contributions. The clarity of the consonants when the chorus hisses out the words ‘O furtuna’ in the closing section is very telling. Splendid playing – trumpets and horns are joyously thrusting, the solo bassoon most piquant, while in their round dance the strings are positively smoochy.
