One of the stronger performances the Sacramento Choral Society and Orchestra has delivered recently was its recent Mondavi performance of "Carmina Burana," (for a review of the concert go here).
Fortunately, the SCSO recorded it, and the fruits of that labor is its second CD release: "Carmina Burana" (pictured, right).
The recording captures a luminous performance by soprano Ji Young Yang and excellent sectional singing by the 180 member chorus. The performance was conducted by SCSO artistic director Donald Kendrick.
The orchestra's first recording was its 2008 release "Eternal Light." That recording captured the SCSO's debut appearance at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles in June of that year.
"This represents two CDs in three years . . . and it's our first locally recorded CD," said SCSO president James McCormick.
The pre-sales of the CD have gone well. The SCSO has already sold 450 of the 1000 CDs it pressed, McCormick said.
McCormick added that the SCSO plans to have the CD available locally at Northridge Music, in Citrus Heights, and local Barnes & Noble and Borders Stores. The CD costs $15.
