Appears here as part of in interesting constellation is the most popular oratorio of the 20th century, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, based on a collection of songs written by students and clergy found in a Bavarian manuscript. The music on the programme for this concert under the baton of respected Hungarian conductor István Dénes is all connected by the central theme of life at its most happy and carefree. "It is joyful music, concert organisers can be grateful!” Brahms said of Dvořák's Carnival.... Written for the newly founded Russian State Jazz Orchestra in 1938, the score for Shostakovich's Suite for jazz orchestra No. 2 was only found decades later. Spring, love and wine - these are the themes that characterise Carmina Burana with its alternately enchanting lyrical music and irresistible hypnotic power. The scenic cantata comprising a series of choral tableaus and shorter solo arias is an exciting 20th century reading of medieval poems.
