We saw him conduct that too a few years ago. Someone said that Carmina Burana was the kind of music a gland would write, if a gland could write music. If you’re thinking about O Fortuna and the closing that’s a fair comment, but there’s lots of room for delicate subtlety in between. Often conductors sort of mush through the softer parts, but he slowed down and drew out lots of different colors and emotions. That’s where he excelled. The way he conducted it, for instance, the Roasted Swan was hilarious.
