Tollwood’s Gift to Munich
Carl Orffs “Carmina Burana”
in the production of La Fura dels Baus
Catalan stage power, Munich orchestral culture, Carl Orff’s masterpiece –
Tollwood’s Gift to Munich on stage at the Olympic lake with free admission.
“O Fortuna!” Everyone is familiar with the power of this choral arrangement from “Carmina Burana”. This song collection is one of the most famous classical music works. Carl Orff’s scoring of medieval texts from the Benedictine monastery of Benediktbeuer is what might be described in today’s pop world as a mega hit. This collection of 24 songs in total about fortune, prosperity, the dangers of drinking, lust, gluttony and gambling are performed all over the world, but take on an almost hymn-like quality when sung on the Bavarian stage due to their origin.
Tollwood’s Gift to Munich for its 30th Birthday – La Fura dels Baus with free admission.
Conductor, choir and musicians come from the Musikhochschule München, Munich’s Academy of Music. The version played is that by Orff’s student Wilhelm Killmayer with choir, two pianos and percussion.
