I can't help shedding tears every time I hear Carmina Burana. I am honored to have been a part of a choir that performed this in 2016, when I was 31. It was such a powerful piece that always hit me emotionally. My grandfather attended and explained after that he had never been to a performance like that before. I knew in that moment how proud I made him. He passed on my birthday in 2021. I am so happy he was able to make the 3.5 hour drive to see me. Our family wasn't know for many accomplishments, if you catch my drift. I will never forget how much it meant to both of us.

In 1000 years, people will still listen to this timeless masterpiece...

My 12 yrs old just got asked to do the percussion for Carmina Burana's Fortuna... Proud dad here!

Someone wrote those poems between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries (in Latin and Old German), and today we can listen to them, being played and sung thanks to Carl Orff. If this is not Art, I don't know what it is.

My father dragged my brother, sister and I kicking and screaming to Carnegie Hall and to this day I'm glad he did. When I watch a Symphony or any Orchestra perform it seems other worldly. How did the human experience evolved this ability? How is it that a person's mind can contain a song/musical picture then invent a way to represent it into a musical language so that others can perform it? How one person can understand the nature of a large variety of instruments, this also includes the human voice, and combined them all into such amazing expressions. In my opinion this is true magic!

I dont dare to listen to and orchesta like this in live...i would constantly cry. This is more "epic" more emotional then, the whole life of some people.

My father is a singer at the local philharmonics, and he usually took me ad my sister to their concerts. Since childhood, I loved Carmina Burana, but didn't realise back then how great of a masterpiece this is. He said that these pieces of art are music at its finest. He also told us, that in order to enjoy these pieces, one must be mature enough to understand it, and for me, this was the day. Carl Orff is a genius.

In 1968, I was the first chair flutist at the Macomb County Community College Band in Warren, Michigan USA. Our band was not the traditional college band. We challenged ourselves to bring a wide variety of music to our college and the public Two events that we performed that sticks out as a huge endeavor was to perform for President Richard Nixon at the Universal Mall in Warren, Michigan and a onetime only performance sans choir of Carmina Burana. With the President, it was one of his reelection campaign stops. Our band being available was asked to perform during the lulls that can occur during a large and long presidential campaign. The director and our group put our heads together, we were not going to play any John Phillip Sousa songs or any patriotic music that is probably heard everywhere. We thought we were the only group providing the music. Nixon enters with the Redford high school marching band John Phillip Sousing it up. They marched in and then, I think, marched out. What an entrance. With our group of 25 musicians, we [played in the back corner farthest away from anyone and we played our carefully chosen songs. Suddenly without notice, President Nixon had got off his podium, walked through the crown and appeared at my side, looking at our band director. We froze in terror; did we do something wrong? Nixon looked at us and said, “You are not playing for the President of the United States! You are playing for me. Mr. Nixon was a classic pianist and we had chosen to perform his favorite composers for his entertainment. My jaw dropped, he said that what we did for him, he will never forget. It was one of the most precious and thoughtful music that endeared him to our band. And then he looked at us and smiled! He used to have the nickname Tricky Dick and here he was Tricky Dick. smiling at us from ear to ear. Our next musical event was a public performance of Carmina Burana. We had no college choir to sing the German lyrics, so we worked many hours to bring this s hour plus performance. I had a flute solo that lasted about 20 measures and it was the hardest piece of music I ever played since I never really had flute lessons but learned by ear even when I played in high school. Watching and hearing this version brought me to tears. I am 73 years old, and I can remember to this day when we finished the last note and stood up, the audience was dead silent. After an hour and about 10 minutes of playing our hearts out, our audience had no idea how to react to this marvelous piece. They never clapped, dead silence as we walked off stage. I loved every measure of Carmina no matter how crazy the music was written in the strangest tempo I have ever seen and the time I had to take to practice, practice, and practice to do our best. Years later, I will perform at Gettysburg and in front of the White House of President Jimmy Carter (he is in hospice and in my prayers) as I continued my musical experiences in a Michigan Civil war band around our great state of Michigan and just for fun. Carmina Burana was to me my greatest honor as a musician to perform and I totally understand the depth of love that for the choir members and instrumentalists who have also experienced performing this piece. As soon as the first notes were played, I was in tears of the happy memories being a musician, my love to all of you especially my fellow musicians who experienced this one-of-a-kind event in the Love for Music. Love from the United States. John (I apologize that my comment was as long as Carmina Burana, please forgive my enthusiasm.) ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

Que maravilloso es escuchar esta música desde un celular que me traslada al mejor recinto, sin salir de mi hogar, proporcionándome este gran regalo, ahora que estoy por cumplir 85 años.

The magic that can be created by a group of dedicated humans is astounding.

Growing up as a young boy this was and still is one of my favorite musical pieces. I used to air conduct to the music on records. Now in my 80s. I am watching and listening to this performance now.

On a plane from Kuala Lumpur to Brussels in the he year 1984 a Japanese Conductor sitting next to me told me about his mission to find a music piece that could connect Japan to Europe . I told him to listen to Carl Orff 's Carmina Burana . Later I learned he had actually done that a few days later in Germany with what would evolve into a mixed German Japanese choire . Carmina Burana then became very popular in Japan . The link were the macons in Europe's Middle Ages and the Shoiguns - samourais in Japan even if I was a couple of hundred years off .

my parents used to play this every Sunday. Now my kids love it too. I've probably heard it a thousand times and never get tired of it.

This entire performance is amazing, but the baritone soloist really shines. I love how he not only sings the music but acts it as well.

To say that I love Carmina Burana is an understatement!❤❤❤

O Fortuna - I wanna listen to this when the world ends.

Everytime I listen and watch this, I want to stand up and cheer, applaud and yell BRAVO. Hats off to all in this performance. It is marvelous.

im so thankful I can listen to this comfortably on my PC, whenever I want. I don't understand why I have such a privilege.

I played a CD of Carmina Burana near a swimming pool in Paphos, Cyprus in 1996 and a large contingent of locals and tourists came to enjoy it. I made many friends that night.

The best thing in the world is singing this piece of art! I call my self lucky that I had the chance more than once to be a part of a chorus singing Carmina Burana...

Music unites the world! I happen to live in Oberbayern (Upper Bavaria, Germany) and was lucky enough to be part of a choir that performed this piece in ... Benediktbeuern, of all places, where the actual medieval texts were found that became the lyrics of this piece. We performed at the former Benediktbeuern Monastery in the Meierhof (courtyard) yesterday, 24-Jul-2022. Though we did the version with two grand pianos, percussion, soloists and choir (not a full orchestra, set by one of his "disciples" and authorized by Carl Orff) it was a very exciting event - and I believe the audience liked it very much as well. It was with the cultural association "Klangkunst im Pfaffenwinkel" at Iffeldorf. Iffeldorf is just a couple towns over from Benediktbeuern. Always a stunning experience, this piece - and maybe the location made the event even more special. Whatever the music you like - keep singing on and on - until the cows come home!

There is nothing -- and I mean NOTHING! More moving and satisfying than being fortunate enough to sing with a choir like this! My first experience with singing in a choir like this, was in the high school chorale. I took the course because I liked to sing and thought it would be an easy grade. The first piece I learned was Mozart's 'Ave Verum'. I never knew such sublime music existed! My first experience in a choir accompanied by an orchestra, was with the West Florida Music Festival Chorus. We performed Brahm's Requiem, under the direction of then New Orleans' Symphony conductor Phillipe Entremont. The music, like this, envelopes you and I often struggled to control tears. I'm afraid the current generation is missing out.

My friends and I were in chorus in college and we did this piece. Many, many years ago now. Our choral conductor sadly passed away just last year. He was only 60. We all still remembered him fondly, even after all the years. They did the O Fortuna portion during his memorial service.

What a coordination! What a synchronization! What a performance! And what a diversity! Bravo to all!!!!

La escucho 100 veces y la escucharé 100 más es grandiosa saludos desde Argentina

This my favorite performance of Carmina Burana.The soprano incredible. Fantastic..This is magnificent! Carmina Burana touches the very soul..i would cry...Wonderful performance...

This my favorite perfomance of Carmina Burana. That rich and powerful chorus works hand in glove with an orchestral accompaniment that is strong but clear. I have to say that I really enjoyed the solo male singer whose voice was exuberantly deep and expressive. I do not know who enjoyed this more, me or him.

I was once a tenor in a choir for a performance of Carmina Burana with the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra in 1997

Respect for the genius Carl Orff!..

This master peace was on my very first casette in the 90's when I was a little child. Heard it every night for sleep! And I love it until today! ♡ Most people look at me like I'm a weirdo. But I give a bleep!

When lockdown is over I will travel to find a live performance of this amazingly, amazingly wonderful work of art and I won't rest until I do!

My father who died in 2003was in the northwest Indiana symphony chorus and I watched him perform this. Will never forget it. I love it.

Timeless!!! I will forever love the Carmina Burana. I hope to see it performed live one day. It's my favorite Symphony and I love many. This is Art in music 🎶 🎵 ❤

Infelizmente hoje são poucas as pessoas que dão valor e assistem esse tipo de espetáculo. Essa é a verdadeira arte da música que veio para ficar para sempre.

The male timpanist is way too cool. Nothing phases this guy. He just does it and does it in style. Like "I'm young and just styling all over this concert and I'm not even breaking a sweat over here."

The perfect symbiosis of the orchestra, the conductor and the perfect partner, resonant audience. A perfect evening.

My daughters have just "discovered" Carmina Burana since it's part of an anime they're following. I made them listen to the whole piece and they fall in love with it all. Teenagers appreciate good music in the appropriate time.

I have been watching and listening to this since this video was considered high quality and normal screen dimension .. love every second

Once heard, never forgotten

Another piece of music that raises the hair on my neck. Legendary.

How could anyone not be fully moved by this absolutely brilliant performance ?? Amazing, each and every one !!

I can remember singing this a a child in school and my son fell in love with this masterpiece and it was played at his funeral. Is incredible that I have only seen it performed live once. This is now my go to and will be back. Thank you for posting.

It is the highlight of my life - I sang Alto to this piece. It doesn't get better than that.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE AND I'VE HEARD A LOT IN 40 YEARS

Música impecablemente hermosa, grandiosa. Despierta en mi un sentimiento para el que no hay palabras. La belleza, la nobleza de la humanidad. Juntos para cantar de ésta manera grandiosa.

This was certainly Carl Orff's novel of the century. Such a tale told to move the senses as well as the emotions. I'll never tire of listening to it. Wonderful performance. Thank you.

That look of "oh crap oh crap where are we??..." at 47:29 We've all been there buddy...

I first heard a recording of Carmina Burana in 1965 while in grad school. It is now 2020 and I love this piece of music as much today as in 1965. Mike Colegrove.

That is, I think, THE best performance of Carmina Burana that I have ever heard! So wonderful, also, to see an orchestra of such mixed faces, nationalities, enthnicities, etc.

I've been in Love with Carmina Burana since I first watch the 1981 movie " Excalibur " . First watched it in 1985 and still all these years later I still listen to it with the same passion etc as when I first heard it.

Carl Orff is buried at a beautiful church in Andechs. Wonderful place to visit and may be easily reached on a day trip from Munich. After visting the site the local monks serve a fine beer. Sit in the gardens and enjoy the countryside. This great work was never out of my mind when I visited.

I can listen to this all day. My dad has a CD and when we get in the truck I put on the music. I love it. 🎶 I play the clarinet.

tears in my eyes, I stand to applaud !!! Bravoooo!!!!

Que maravilloso, es increible como el ser humano puede llegar a ese nivel de perfección en las artes.

Whenever I hear carmina burana I can't stop crying. It's so damn beautiful.pure goosebumps...

Es ist ein gewaltiges , wunderschönes Werk was Karl Orff da geschaffen hat . Da geht es mir eiskalt den Rücken runter . Grossartig !!

Es un trance d emocion INCOMPARABLE .!! LA ORQUESTA SINFONICA Y LOS COROS EXTRAORDINARIOS TE LLENAN D VIDA !!GRACIAS Y MIS FELICITACIONES AL DIRECTOR Y LOS EJECUTANTES. UNA VERDADERA MARAVILLA

As a former choral singer - this was by far one of my favorite pieces to perform.

Only those who watch one of these concerts live will be able to feel this work's awesomeness.

Whoever has NO love of Orff's Carmina Burana has NO heart! This University has such a huge Chorus and Orchestra, and they all perform with such a huge heart! At first, "In trutina" sounds like "Symphonie Pathetique", and at "Dulcissime", I'm in love! Who is this powerful soprano?

Incredible! I never heard this before from beginning to end. It will shake you right out of your shoes. No words .

This performance is worth watching for the baritone soloist--he's phenomenal in expression and technique.

The soprano is incredible! Fantastic performance!!

Просто шедевр. Вершина культуры человеческой.

This is the best thing I've ever heard in my life. Imagine writing all this so before you come out and talk they play this.

My father was a great man he said that I would love this even though I love rock music he was so happy with my response l love this

My God I'm awestruck, the first time I've ever heard the whole thing, I had electricity running up and down my spine like a conduit for the Gods.

Felizmente , la veo y escucho todos los días , me tiene enamorada ésta version. 🌹❤😘😊

George Washington High School NYC chorus 1963. What a brave teacher! I remember almost every word.

My teacher gives me extra point bcz i mention this master piece in a discussion about the literary movement during the mideival ages Respeeeect from Morocco

Even the applause in the end was beautiful to listen to!

I heard Carmina Burana for the first time in my native country Chile, performed by our philarmonic orchestra, I was then 12 year old and it was a rapture experience, now at 72 is still a joy to hear it, moreover with this fantastic orquestra, choir and baritone, tenor and superb soprano

Me lleno de una emoción tan grande al escuchar ésta preciosa música, me eleva el espiritu.

Bravo. I've loved this work for nearly 50 years and have seen it performed at the Royal Albert Hall, London. I love to see the musicians and singers faces and admire the concentration, passion and enjoyment. Excellent performance.

Gracias a todos los integrantes de la Orquesta el Coro y su director, por manifestación de su amor por el arte musical. Para la música no hay fronteras, saludos desde San Francisco del Rincón GTO. México 🇲🇽🤠💚⚪❤️

I've been coming back for 15 years to hear this performance. There is truly nothing like it, to me this is history.

Am in El Salvador enjoying this cantata,,,and this performance made me feel blue,,,I Just openned a bottle of wine and how relaxing my world became. Thank you Karl, and thank you for posting this performance. Gracias amigos

This is the best performance of the Carmina Burana. It has the best pauses between each line in the o Fortuna

El alma se recarga de emociones con estas piezas musicales.

EXCITING ! PERFECT PERFORMANCE ! I BELIEVE CARL ORFF WOULD BE PLEASED AND GOD ALMIGHTY WOULD BE SMILING ! 👍❤️

Sencillamente maravillosa obra musical con una ejecución magistral

Used to listen to this in college all the time when studying for finals or tests or whatever. Now i listen to it while working on projects :D Timeless, and will always be marvelous.

This is magnificent! Carmina Burana touches the very soul. I have had the privilege of attending 3 concerts of Carmina Burana performed flawlessly by the Cleveland Orchestra, Choir and Children's Choir. Twice at Severance Hall and once at Blossom Music (outdoor theatre). Each time, I literally felt the music transporting me emotionally to another sense reality - it felt like the music came down from the stage... lifted me up out of my seat and moved me to a place of peace and beauty I have never experience at any other time in my long life. So fortunate to have youtube so that I can put in my earbuds, shut out the noise of the world and go where the music takes me...into a peaceful moment in time.

Muito obrigada a todos os envolvidos para que essa MARAVILHA possa existir. O mundo é muito mais feliz graças a vocês!!!

Tanta emoção que levou meu espírito para as nuvens.

Quelle oeuvre magnifique et IMPRESSIONNANTE!!! Je l'ai chanté plus d'une fois avec le CHOEUR DE LA MONTAGNE du Mont St-Hilaire! J'en ai toujours plein de frissons et d'émotions de l'écouter et que dire quand je la chante!!!

I love this master-work so much. When the closure of O' Fortuna starts again right after that exhilarating and sweet, peaceful and passionate "Dulcissime", I swear it makes my hair stand up. It is the perfect closure to that experience because it really does show that fortune changes like the moon.

Me imagino que maravilloso es vivirlo en vivo. Desde Santiago de Chile, muy contenta de haber podido disfrutar de esta gran orquesta después de tantos años. "La música sin tiempo ni espacio"

O minunăție !!!! Mulțumesc !!

This is absolutely the best performance

Imagine this performance with closed captioned libretto & clean audio. Soloists were exceptional.

Este vídeo es una joya. Sublime la ejecución y las voces. Muchas gracias por subirlo.

Estremecimiento nivel Dios!!! Espectacular, sobrecogedor!!! Qué nivel increíble, qué belleza 🎵. Mis respetos desde Chile 🇨🇱

I wholeheartedly love the determination of the bell guy in 23:50. You go bell guy!

I discovered Carmina Burana 47 years ago as a student, and it has remained my favourite piece of music and singing since. Enormous joy and uplift everytime and finding this recording on KZfaq is a great pleasure. Thank you to the orchestra and the choir for this fantastic experience.

Me encanta que todavía estén estos videos en KZfaq y que la gente la escuché ❤

I have spent 5 years trying to remember what this was called and just randamly heard the name on a book podcast and im very thankful now

I remember singing this with Portland symphony when I was around 10, in the little kid choir! Very fond memory. Spectacular piece of music.
