DESCRIPTION:
It’s no harm at all to hear these chestnuts of the repertoire with a lack of attention-grabbing Hollywood Bowl glitz and swagger…Carmina Burana: don’t be put off by its seeming laid-backness. This aspect of Yu’s interpretation serves to heighten the folk aspects of the work…Soloists and choir are uniformly excellent, Tézier being especially subtle, hypnotic and genuinely witty as opposed to crude buffo…Recommended for both the music-making and the occasion
