2. BBC Concert Orchestra - The Universities for Nottingham Concert
A collection of lusty writings from the thirteenth century proved an alluring subject for German composer Carl Orff, who turned their satirical commentary on all manner of fleshly pleasures, as well as the inevitably cruel turns of fortune, into a spectacular twentieth-century masterpiece. Powered by an elemental musical language, Carmina Burana gives voice to impatient young lovers, ribald merrymakers, a drunken abbot and even a roasting swan. Tonight, it’s all done with a knowing wink at good taste and a riot of primary colours from the BBC Concert Orchestra and Universities of Nottingham choirs. Even Pieter Brueghel’s peasants couldn’t revel with more zest.
