Still, the Carmina Burana ranks among the best live performances I’ve ever seen of any kind. The power of the chorous and drums just don’t come out in a recording.
Great musical theater.
Agreed. I'd always enjoyed "O Fortuna" on CD, but it wasn't until my wife and I attended a live performance that I realized the full power of this composition. It resonates with something deep in the psyche.

I was first introduced to this wonderful piece of music via Alvin Ailey’s Dance Company in NYC. It was a performance at City Center. I was mesmerized by the power and beauty ofthe music and dancing. The CD I have of Carmina Burana is definitely not as wonderful as it was in that live performance.
