Carmina Burana is one of the most popular pieces of music ever written. It's lusty lyrics, drinking songs, sinner's confessions and hymns in praise of gambling and gluttony excite singers and audience alike and there is, around the world, at least one performance of this choral masterpiece every day. It forms the backbone of Tony Palmer’s explosive film about composer Carl Orff, a man tormented with guilt about his mendacious and tragic behaviour during Hitler’s Germany. Drawing extensively on Orff's personal reminiscences, plus exclusive interviews with three of his surviving wives and his only daughter, a tale of almost unbelievable sadness emerges.

Includes:

Archival footage and stunning excerpts from rarely-heard operas and works for puppet theatre
An interview with Carl Orff before he passed away
Interviews with three of his wives and his daughter
