Carmina Burana (Manuscript Version)

[Heather Harrison]

I have the Clemencic and Cohen performances, and I would recommend both of them.  Years ago, I got an LP of some of the Clemencic performances, and that LP was, in part, responsible for getting me hooked on medieval music.  I was happy when the CD set came out later.  Even if Clemencic reconstructed/composed some of the music, it is still quite satisfying.  (Note that in music this old, there is often a lot of reconstruction and composition involved.  As long as it works stylistically, I don't mind too much.)

If I'm not mistaken, there is a selection from the Pickett-set in the Decca Eloquence-series. If it's still available it should be budget-priced, and it might be a nice introduction.

Yes it is available. I want the entire thing, but the four CD set is out of print and I can't even find a seller on Amazon that has them.
