Carmina Burana from Montreal
"O Fortune, like the moon you are changeable. Life first oppresses and then soothes, as fancy takes it. Poverty and power, it melts them like ice." Those fatalistic words are the first and last ones we hear in Carl Orff's masterpiece, Carmina Burana. Along the way, the text makes a few interesting diversions, from drinking to debauchery to the pleasures of spring. We'll hear a performance from a concert in Montreal.
