Gundula Janowitz sings In trutina and Dulcissime from Carmina Burana

Today's Classical Corner... Orff!
Janowitz's majestic voice is hypnotizing.
These 2 pieces are from Carmina Burana, conducted in 1968 by Eugen Jochum (and approved by Carl Orff himself).
In In trutina, Janowitz captures both the necessary naivety and the underlying passion that makes the character finally choose the boy rather than chastity.
In Dulcissime, Janowitz sings with unbridled ecstasy, wrapped in a voice of unrivaled beauty.
