What is the best "Carmina Burana" CD you've heard?

If sound quality matters the most, then reverse the order of my earlier post.

I like Sugarbrie's CD choices here, and the Dutoit/London does have fabulous modern sound as well as good performance. The Jochum may actually have better performance but the DG Originals sound can be brightly lit at times, still a thrilling CD and mid price vs full price for Dutoit. If you are looking for demonstration sound get the Dutoit.

May I second (third, fourth) Sugar's recommendation for Jochum. Best performance & OK sound . Go for the performance, it's fun and it matters: the performers know what they're singing/saying! Cheers

Try to audition on LP and compare to CD. Best CD recording quality not performance I've heard is Telarc-no question. On LP recording and performance that beats CD is DG Jochum. My TT is Planar 3 with Dynavector cartridge and CD player is Tjoeb 4000. I've collected many Orff LP's over the years.

I duly confirm, second, third, and fourth sstark above. But the performance! (confession: I have Jochum on LP.) BTW, a question for sstark: the favourite Carmina Tuli?
