Three times lucky and I was even more impressed than I have been before - this choral masterpiece in such a spectacular location as the Royal Albert Hall and with so many voices together and alone. Chilling, inspirational and just superb...The 24 poems written in German and Latin during the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries were not so obvious - but the music by Carl Orff written in 1936 was and continues to be absolutely primal and spectacular. A full orchestra will a very well developed percussion section set the scene for so many adult and schoolboy voices, complemented by impressive soloists. A spiritual evening in appreciation of life...
