I sang three performances of Orff's "Carmina Burana" to packed houses this weekend! All were AWESOME. I mean, notably, especially, undeniably AWESOME. We sounded awesome. The orchestra sounded awesome. The kid's choir did an awesome job. The soloists were awesome. The conductor was awesome. DID I MENTION AWESOME

Orff- yay!!!! Boston snagging Masur-yaaaay!

He's wonderful- you're so lucky to get him! And the Orff was yay indeed! I loved Ken Herman's comments:

Because Orff’s popular cantata is so much fun to sing and play, countless community choruses perform this with pick-up orchestras, and I would not gainsay such pursuits for a moment. But this performance executed at such a high professional level throughout reminded me how moving Carmina burana can be. It is much more than an entertaining musical circus!

Hear hear!

Go all Amadeus on him re: posterior presentation. ;-)

Thank yoooou!!!

Hee, that's tempting. But he does not deserve to look upon the glory of my shapley buttocks.

Not saying what the shape is, precisely...

Too many notes!

I love that you have an internal Douglas Richardson voice.

The internal Douglas Richardson helps counterbalance the outer Arthur Shappey :D
