Des belles japonaises qui chantent carmina burana, en ancien latin, est en effet exceptionnel. Quant au chef d’orchestre, Seiji Ozawa, bravo et félicitation. Je connais une autre chef d’orchestre japonaise, Tomomi Nishimoto, elle aussi c'est une perfection musicale. 古代ラテン語では、美しい日本の歌うカルミナ・ブラナは本当に素晴らしいです。 指揮者の小澤誠二さん、おめでとうございます。 私はもう一人の日本の指揮者、西本知美を知っています。
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!
Someone gave that wheel one hell of a turn. I read a review once that said the tempos were so quick, it had to be that the chorus was worried they’d miss their flight back to Japan.
Voici le lyric, merci de bien vouloir le lire. 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…
I find this really impressive as a band geek. All it could use is more trombone, although I tend to think that with most songs. By the way, anyone wanna try guessing what instrument I play?
Alle dieser Sprachen, und haben wir uns kein Deutsch? Was? Ich kann dies nicht glauben! Das wirt nicht tun! Darf ich das doch aendern! Ich habe mich erinnert das erste Mal daB ich dies mit meinem Opa ferngesehen habe! Ich glaube daB es in der Naehe von 1989 ist. Ob das stimmt ist, ist es vorm Berliner Mauer gefallen ist! Leider gibt es auch die Moeglichkeit daB ich falsch sein koennte?! Hoffe ich nicht!
This music is awesome! Even more so, considering it's a modern 20th century composition. The lyrics are a medieval student poetry, mostly saying that life sucks, no luck in gambling, then drinking songs and maybe some sleazy songs later in the opera. If the students of Bremen saw this concert, they'd piss themselves laughing. Maybe 500 years in the future Snoop Dogg and his ghetto rhymings will be ceremoniously sung by a Black chorus and orchestra.
