Sex, drink and roasted swans – choral music isn’t meant to be this much fun! But the medieval monks who wrote the words to Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana don’t seem to have been too bothered. Prepare for serious joy as Kazuki Yamada unleashes the CBSO and (count ’em) no fewer than three great Birmingham choirs; first, though, he rediscovers the blazing Sinfonia Sacra by former CBSO chief conductor Andrzej Panufnik.
