Carmina Burana is one of those pieces that almost always goes well. In fact, you have to work at giving a bad performance. Dorati's reading is one that makes a good case for Orff's masterpiece, even if it doesn't aspire to the heights of Eugen Jochum's on Deutsche Grammophon. His tempos are, for the most part, well chosen. Norma Burrowes' heavenly singing in "Setit puella" is a treat. The choirs sound well trained, and the Royal Philharmonic provides a thorough and professional account of the score.
