About
Often described as ‘music for amateurs’, sometimes used (or misused) towards purely commercial ends, Orff’s Carmina Burana was clearly ready for a new approach, a sort of revivifying, thorough rethinking. This has now been done, thanks to Jos van Immerseel and the absolutely exceptional musical team that he assembled.
Faithful to what accounts for the force of his musical approach, Jos van Immerseel profoundly revolutionizes the sound image and interpretation of this score, thanks both to the very high quality of the chosen performers and to the singularity of the instruments and timbres of his orchestra.
So it is a very new way of approaching this work that Jos van Immerseel proposes, open-minded, without concession but with the great pleasure and joy of simply making music.

Reviews
“One of the most popular and at the same time one of the most reviled choral works of all time comes up startlingly fresh in Jos van Immerseel’s totally rethought approach...The results are razor-sharp, emphasising the Stravinsky-like crystalline edginess of the textures, and the brilliant if brutal imagination behind them.” ****
The Observer – 14 December 2014
“Brushing off the dust, applying a new coat of paint: the warhorses of the repertoire regularly need this kind of attention...Their goal, [Immerseel] says, was to reach an interpretation that came “as close as possible to Orff’s artistic DNA”. The stamping rhythms still stamp away, but they do so with dappled colours and an unusually light, lithe gait.” ****

Performance ***** Recording *****
"For palate-tingling revelations and suffusing musicality, this would now be my Carmina of first reference."
Terry Blain - BBC Music magazine - February 2015
"All revelatory; this is one of those recordings that will have you listing the things you’ve never noticed before. Immerseel’s confident, bright-eyed direction knits everything together, making this recording an unlikely triumph, a bold reinvention of an over-familiar work."
Graham Rickson - theartsdesk.com - 10 January 2015
"... The main chorus is on tip-top form; crisp, full-blooded and beautifully blended singing and, despitebeing leaner in numbers, still able to pack a punch this naturalistic, primitive interpretation is aresounding success. Van Immerseel and his musicians have a winner here with this sparkling new release..."
