Robert Shaw & Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus: Carl Orff – Carmina Burana (Ultra HD CD)

Carl Orff’s „scenic cantata” about happiness and prosperity, springtime joy, the transience of life and hearty pleasures such as drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust, includes 24 texts in German and Latin in the libretto. The driving force behind it all is Orff’s rhythm. Whether loud and bombastic or sorrowful and heartbreaking, this work can only be described as dramatic. This powerful recording under the baton of Robert Shaw was probably chosen for the soundtrack to the Oliver Stone film „The Doors.”

[As a distributor, we would like to point out that there was an error in the graphics department when taking over the title names for the manual, and a Hindemith work is also erroneously given. This is not included on the CD].

Ultra-HD 32-Bit-Mastering & PureFlection

This mastering format was developed by FIM and Five/Four Productions. Five/Four Productions is made up of the former Telarc production team who wanted to be able to master the best possible sound quality without regard to lower quality equipment. The Five/Four Productions team can look back on 16 Grammys and countless other awards.

It is re-digitized with 32 bit word length and sampling frequency adapted to the source material. When possible, 192 KHz is used, but lower sampling rates are sonically advantageous for some material. The Ultra-HD 32-bit productions can be played back on any CD player in excellent sound quality.

The term PureFlection refers to the new way of producing the glass master for the latest FIM productions. This is not done in the pressing plant as part of the normal production process, but by a specialist on a specially modified machine for cutting Blu-Ray glass masters. Before the CDs are produced, the quality of the glass master is checked and the new booklets contain the test protocol of this check. The result is significantly lower jitter values and also lower error values than with usual industrial productions and the resulting sound image has an organic feel in contrast to many modern productions.

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
