Review: Music director Fabio Luisi leads a rare pairing of Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana' and its sequel, 'Catulli Carmina.'
Carmina Burana
mixes medieval Latin and Middle High German texts about fickle fate, drinking and love both emotional and carnal.is a set of 1st century B.C. poems by Catullus, a slightly younger contemporary of Julius Caesar. Tenor and soprano soloists evoke the poet’s ultimately doomed relationship with a married woman, the Greek-like chorus setting scenes and commenting.
Orff wrote his own Latin verses for the prologue, in which the chorus portrays young men and young girls aflame with love, and old men pooh-poohing romantic illusions. Some of the flirtations are physiologically explicit; at least one anatomical term was discreetly eschewed in the projected translations.— more or less tuned speech — for both soloists and chorus, plus some specified shouts, laughter and miscellaneous crowd noise.
Pianists Mikhail Berestnev, Anastasia Markina, Gabriel Sanchez and Benjamin Loeb performed with percussionists of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in Carl Orff's 'Catulli Carmina' at the Meyerson Symphony Center on May 11, 2023.
