The Detroit Symphony Orchestra and its music director Jader Bignamini present Carl Orff’s monumental scenic cantata Carmina Burana for soloists, chorus and children’s chorus, and orchestra. Recorded live in concert, DSO is joined by the vocal ensemble Audivi and the Detroit Opera Youth Chorus. Orff tasks the baritone with the majority of the solos — an athletic, high-lying, and lusty part. Detroit’s soloist is the young Polish Kavalierbariton Andrzej Filończyk, who recently triumphed in the title role of Mason Bates’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay at the Metropolitan Opera. Israeli soprano Chen Reiss joins for the solos in the final “Court of Love” scene and American countertenor Reginald Mobley sings the Song of the Roasted Swan.
