4.0 out of 5 stars
If you only know "Carmina Burana", shame!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Carl Orff: Antigonae (Audio CD)
Aug. 99 marked the 50th anniversary of the first performance of Orff's "Antigonae"; it's just as beautiful and fresh now as it was then. There are many musical gems to be found here, but first and foremost this setting is musical THEATER; there is an enormous reliance on the unaccompanied voice to carry the weight of Hoederlein's classic German translation of Sophocles' original. Austere and beautiful at once; not soon forgotten.

Perhaps I need to hear this a few more times...,

This review is from: Carl Orff: Antigonae (Audio CD)
Neither "Carmina Burana" nor the "Schulwerke" are the only sides of Carl Orff. Furthermore, I agree with the previous reviewer that "Antigonae" is, indeed, austere. To my ears, the austerity overwhelms most of the beauty that may be present. Upon listening to this several times during the past year, I've found the work irritatingly monotonous. However, as the title of my review states, I'm willing to try even further to warm up to it.

This review is from: Carl Orff: Antigonae (Audio CD)
...yes; it grows on you with repetition. The best way is to follow with an English translation of the Sophocles (the opera text is basically the same). Then it really comes over as a wonderful piece of music theatre...and the same applies to Orff's Oedipus der Tyrann.
