The grand sound of the choir, orchestra, and soloists performing the cantata Carmina Burana transforms the concert into a true mystery. Carl Orff created a work where ancient texts gain new life. The musical element envelops you completely - expression, rhythm, power, and absolute immersion. The concert "Thing in Itself: Carl Orff. Carmina Burana" is a large-scale musical event that promises to be one of the most impressive evenings of the season. This time, as part of the series led by Yaroslav Timofeev, the cantata will be performed, which needs no introduction. The stage fresco by Carl Orff is written on texts of medieval poetry, uniting themes of love, fate, pleasures, and fear. Carmina Burana is one of the most recognizable and emotionally rich works of the 20th century. The solemn beginning "O Fortuna" has become a symbol of musical power that cannot be ignored. But behind this introduction unfolds an entire world: sensual, wild, shameless, elevated - just like life itself. It merges childlike innocence and philosophical depth, pagan energy and Christian morality, corporeality and metaphysics. The participation of two choirs - the Yurlov Chapel and the children's choir of the Bolshoi Theatre - gives the sound the necessary volume and contrast. The Svetlanov Orchestra, conducted by Philip Chizhevsky, masterfully combines powerful accents and the subtlest nuances. The soloists - Maria Sardarayan, Yaroslav Abaimov, and Konstantin Shushakov - give each scene character, passion, and a voice capable of touching the heart.
