From the rousing first chorus of O Fortuna until the wheel of fortune rolls on to its concluding reprise, Orff immerses us in an unstoppable journey, exploring life and fate through the eyes of a group of worldly mediaeval monks.
Although familiar from its innumerable appearances in film and advertising, the music takes on a new vibrancy in live performance.
