Rameau, Dardanus. This superb recording should please both those who consider themselves "Ramistes" and those who simply enjoy pre - 19th century music. Previous recordings of Rameau have always seemed to me to be rather dull, but this one is full of energy and commitment and directed with flair. The cast is generally a good one, and in the case of the eponymous hero, sublime, and Minkowski obtains playing of real verve from his orchestra; the choral singing is incisive throughout. The part of the heroine, Iphise, is sung by the flavour-of-the-month soprano, Véronique Gens, and she never fails to give pleasure with her lovely tone, although her manner of address does not seem to me quite distinctive enough ...

6.Orff: Carmina Burana by: ORFF October 06, 1997

Superb! The music is crystal clear and supports the choir perfectly - rather than being overwhelmed with 'noise' you can hear individual instruments and the timing of the conducting is spot on! The songs blend together seamlessly and you are transported on a beautiful journey of emotions through the story. Ideal for listening anytime and always guaranteed to lift your mood and make your spirits soar. A plus point is that you can switch off at any time and still feel that 15 minutes listening to this is as worthwhile as listening to the whole thing. Definately a five star CD. Enjoy!

carl orff's carmina burana remains one of my all time favourite pieces of classical music, drawing on many different styles including opera, classic, romantic, baroque (and i always think of spanish folk music in some of the later movements). this recording if anything emphasises its power, emotion and Orff's skill at building up anticipation and tension by use of many different textures of music. the voices are awesome, in paricular the tenor ( who wails comically and operatically in <>), though the boy's chorus also adds enrichment. others have commented on minor nuances in the recording. i appreciate that they are there, but to take them away or digitally edit them would be to somehow alter the thick atmosphere that ...
