    Carl Orff's "Triumph of Aphrodite" is a wonderful discovery
  

*by J***2 on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2012*

After "Carmina Burana" - Carl Orff's most famous piece - the composer went on to write two large compositions for soloists, chorus and instruments which completed the trio of "Trionfi."  The current recording presents very fine performances of these two compositions, the "Catulli Carmina" (1943) and "Triumph of Aphrodite" (1951).  The last of these is a genuine discovery, a very interesting and attractive take on Greek culture.What's also notable about the "Triumph of Aphrodite" is just how contemporary it sounds.  Its stylistic closeness to modern American composers like John Adams and Steve Reich, in turn with a kinship to many trends in popular music, is clear.  Built on small repeated motives, clear textures and strong rhythmic interest, it is music truly ahead of its time.  It is funny and also instructive to contrast the modernity of "Aphrodite" with Arnold Schoenberg's declarations about the historical inevitability of his music and the serial, twelve-tone technique he developed.  While Schoenberg's music - whatever one thinks of its quality- sounds very recognizably from the early twentieth-century, Orff, someone who spent most of his life teaching younger children and who made no such grand claims for his art, would have anticipated so many trends.  (Note that I am making no claims for any sort of influence - just anticipation.)Whatever its historical place, I think you will enjoy "Aphrodite."  I'll point to the stunning third part, "Wife and husband", as particularly striking and the call-and-response section of Part IV is gripping and I think an instant classic.  This is terrific music.  I have known the "Catulli Carmina" for many years and, while it is original, it doesn't strike me as being in the same league of quality as the two other "Trionfi".The performance here, led by Franz Welser-Most, was made in Orff's native Munich and is entirely successful.  The two soloists - soprano Dagmar Schellenberger and tenor Lothar Odinius  -- are better in the "Catulli" than in "Aphrodite" but are solid throughout.  I know the Eugen Jochum version of the "Catulli" and think this Wesler-Most interpretation is comprehensively superior.The EMI recorded sonics are outstanding.  This is a very good disc and "Aphrodite" is must listening for those interested in twentieth-century classical music.  5 stars.

    An excellent work
  

*by F***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2007*

I always wanted to know what and how was these both Carl Orff's works: "Catulli Carmina" and "Trionfo di Afrodite". They are surprising works. And the record is excellent, too.

    Other two pieces, hard to find, of the triptych
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2013*

Orff's Carmina Burana has always been one of my personal favorites. I found out that Catulli Carmina and Trionfo Di Afrodite, together with Carmina Burana for a musical triptych, though the two former are rarely played, and even more rarely recorded. I finally found them in this CD. I don't find them to be anywhere near the quality of Carmina Burana, by as part of my very informal musical education they provide a significant interest to the work of Orff.
