Lol I was just gonna write this. I totally agree. So many versions but I always come back to this one. Something powerful about this performance and the energy 👏 ✨️ 🙌
Other versions mistake O Fortuna as something triumphant and grandiose but it's not. It's brooding and despairing. This song is about accepting a terrible fate soon to be
"Inconstancy is my very essence," says the wheel. "Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don't complain when you're cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it's also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away."
Not to take anything away from the choir and the orchestra, who are all phenomenal, but the conductor (I wish I knew his name so I could give him the credit he deserves) is the spearhead for one of the most incredible, soul shattering performances I've ever heard in my lifetime... truly music as it's meant to be experienced
Blows my mind every time I hear this version. Listened to many versions of this over the years. This is the best by far. This is a powerful piece of music indeed
What makes this stand out IMHO is the culmination of the final building crescendo at 2:07. The tympani, other heavy percussion and gong are done perfectly. Many versions have the percussion too muted and not impactful. This part and then the modulation from minor to major for end of the movement makes the hairs stand straight up! Probably how powerful the Chorus is able to be determines how powerful the instruments can project. This chorus is superb and the sound quality of the recording is excellent.
Ive seen and listened live withe carmina ...........then i knew i leas alive.. go bob jr go go go Who else os listening in 3026, in the future? Am i alone?.
The best version by far. The 'mid' climax is grandiose but not triumphant. There's a scream of humanities fight. Even the strong man falls. Life is tragic. But what really stand out in this performance is the final climax. The second of actual triumph after a long battle, acceptiing life as it is in the moment. Beautiful composition played to its fullest potential
great. yes, i think its one of the best ones ever too. please anybody help me with giving the recording info; the conductor, the orchestra, the date and venue recorded?
O Fortuna velut luna statu variabilis, semper crescis aut decrescis; vita detestabilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem. Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis, obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris; nunc per ludum dorsum nudum fero tui sceleris. Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria, est affectus et defectus semper in angaria. Hac in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite; quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite!
Ironically Carl Orff wrote this in 1935-36 i.e. As Hitler came to power. "O Fortuna" is a medieval Latin Goliardic poem written in the 13th century, which goes to show how timeless this message is. The bombings in Gaza or needless war in the Ukraine These words are 800 years old, does Man ever learn ?
No, no es Carl Orff. En mi opinión este es Jeffrey Thomas, fundador y director de American Bach Soloists, pero no estoy seguro. Lo que sí estoy seguro es que no es Carl Orff.
The song is our fate and how we all will perish one day. Death looms and no know can escape it. But we fight as it's in our DNA. the fearful, despering mood is fighting against the fate of death. The positive note at the ending could have multiple interpretations: 1. The meaningless of life (Even the strong man falls'), making only the moment's we live important 2. (which is tied to 1) "Everybody weep with me," is particularly strong, implicating that since we're all going to die, instead of dying alone, we can all die together. And there's a certain joy in that thought. That's just my opinion. Many interpretations can fit. But on an overall musical/compositional sense (Hell in all artistic mediums), sharp contrast is what creates the dramatic: the climax, or the emotion we're left to ponder, or a clashing daulity. Little writing example just cause I'm feeling creative: "The land was green and wide and deep in valleys, high in hills until they became mountains, and where there were rocks, there was water, making rivers and waterfalls. Sound echoed through the land with songs of chirping birds and rushing waters. Cutting through the sound was a scream. A man slipped off a cliff. He smashed against the rocks below with the water. He died on impact, his scream with it. The water flowed on." - went a little extra with the comment, lol, but hopefully that makes sense
I have to disagree this is the best. By far Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus with Robert Shaw is the best performance of O Fortuna. And it's not even close.
I still think this is one of the bestest versions of this masterpiece ❤️
Lol I was just gonna write this. I totally agree. So many versions but I always come back to this one. Something powerful about this performance and the energy 👏 ✨️ 🙌
Indeed. I just had few runs of "André Rieu". Although both are pretty close to each other, this provokes mind, emotions, humanity more :).
I respectfully disagree. For me the best version by far is Robert Shaw with Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
It is not a version that is carl orff the orginal creator of this song
Soy la persona que creía que se había compuesto para la película "Excalibur", no se puede ser mas normal!!
Other versions mistake O Fortuna as something triumphant and grandiose but it's not. It's brooding and despairing. This song is about accepting a terrible fate soon to be
I think it's about when nothing left to do between life and death war is the option
They paired it Undertakers theme from WWE for his lying intro for Wrestlemania 14. And it freaking worked Marvelously

I’ve heard many version of this song but this is by far the best version
the conductor must feel like he conquered the world
Super dramatic and has the lyric! Wow 😮 this version is awesome ‼️

The conductor just oversaw a world class performance, and can you see it at the end with his “baton drop” moment.
The conductor here is the actual composer of the song
The man in this vid is carl orff and he is the man behind this composal
@@serbanpetre1049 He's not Carl Orff. This conductor is Jeffrey Thomas, founder of American Bach Soloists

Love it! Not too fast, just right. Best version!
Exactly, so many versions' tempos are far to quick and ruin the brooding mood of this piece...IMO
Best live version, no doubt. ❤️🙏
Magnificence ! BRAVO !!!

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!

These words are 800 years old, does Man ever learn ?
The histor y is dead
I woukd argue the Ukrainians would not call it needless. They are fighting for their existence as a free people.

Why does "O Fortuna" end on a positive note ? It's opposite to its fearful and despairing mood. If somebody can explain
@@pomelo9518 Thank you for your answer. I don't know anything regarding classical music but I feel that the vibe is very different at the end.
The song is our fate and how we all will perish one day. Death looms and no know can escape it. But we fight as it's in our DNA. the fearful, despering mood is fighting against the fate of death. The positive note at the ending could have multiple interpretations: 1. The meaningless of life (Even the strong man falls'), making only the moment's we live important 2.

He died on impact, his scream with it. The water flowed on." - went a little extra with the comment, lol, but hopefully that makes sense
Thanks a lot for your answer and the extra too. Very interesting to get a detailed opinion. I appreciate.@@ellispiper6313
Is that the actual lyrics???
Hi
Makes me want to charge into battle!😡
What happened to the views
The best version is Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, no doubt. Lucia Popp is bright.
I have to disagree this is the best. By far Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus with Robert Shaw is the best performance of O Fortuna. And it's not even close.
Give up dj

THIS is considered the BEST …WHY?!??? 🥴🥴🙄
Because this is the original
