The trilogy including the re-recorded \"Carmina\" is the definitive masterpiece of the old east side of the country, and is called the same as Jochum's recordings. The exquisite sound is a must-hear! Newly reissued from the original ETERNA analog tapes in Japan. Excellent recording. World's first SACD release! Mastered only in analog domain and directly converted to DSD! The 10th SACD hybridization of the latest reissue project of ETERNA's original analog tapes in Japan, Herbert Koegel's (1920.7.29-90.11.20) masterpieces for Eterna in the 1970s, Orff's Trionfi Trilogy, are now available on SACD for the first time in the world. Only \"Carmina Burana\" was recorded in stereo in 1960, also on Eterna (reissued as 0301289BC in April 2019 on this project), but the other two works were first recordings. Since their release, these recordings have reigned as the reigning champion of the Old East, alongside the DG Jochum recordings from the West at the time, and are highly regarded even today as representative recordings of Kegel. In contrast to the global reputation of the Jochum disc, this is a recording of the total power of the former East Germany, achieved by performers who had a local sound and a sincere attitude toward music at that time. The Jochum recording is a recording of the total effort of the former East Germany.The chorus in particular stands out for its high level and expression, and these trilogies, in which the chorus plays an important role, are among the works that demonstrate its power the most. The famous \"Carmina Burana\" has been performed frequently and recorded many times, but the other two works remain in a situation where there are not so many recordings available. The \"Catulli Carmina\" is a work that is not particularly appealing because of its special composition with only four pianos and percussion instruments other than the voices, but the fact is that there are few performances of the important chorus with such power, precise pitch, and stability, including enunciation. In this sense, the true power of the Leipzig Radio Choir, nurtured by Kegel, is overwhelming. In this sense, the true power of the Leipzig Radio Chorus, nurtured by Kegel, is overwhelming. The realistic sound quality, resonance, and atmosphere of those days can only be achieved with high sound quality. The vividness of this reissue is especially evident in the radiance and vividness of the energy of the music. ～This is Kegel's second recording of \"Carmina Burana. While the bizarre, if not bizarre, expression in the old recording left a strong impression, the skillful handling of the chorus in this recording is tongue-in-cheek. The conductor's well-honed skill in organizing the various vocal parts and creating a clear balance shines through. In the following two recordings, the percussion instruments come to the fore and the music becomes even bolder. Kegel's vivid rhythms and sharp narrative are a highlight of the album. This definitive performance has been revived in high sound quality. ～The music is even bolder, with the percussion instruments in the foreground, and the music is even more daring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berlin Classics × TOWER RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45476158505249,"sku":"885470017037","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/products\/885470017037.jpg?v=1687149306","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-it\/products\/885470017037","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
