Overview

Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana is one of the most powerful and instantly recognizable works of the 20th century. This 1968 Deutsche Grammophon recording, conducted by Eugen Jochum with the Chor und Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin, remains a reference interpretation. Featuring Gundula Janowitz (soprano), Gerhard Stolze (tenor), and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone), the performance captures the raw energy, medieval drama, and emotional depth of Orff’s secular cantata.
