About the album
The pieces recorded in Musica Poetica are performed in the playful and creative style intended by the composer. Artistic director of the recording, Wilfried Hiller, has conscientiously worked in the spirit of his former teacher Orff. Authenticity is further lent by the Karl Peinkofer Percussion Ensemble whose leader, Karl Peinkofer, performed many of Orff's works under the direction of the composer himself.
This recording features Orff's daughter, Godela Orff, performing parts for spoken voice. Martina Koppelstetter sings mezzo soprano, Carolin Widmann plays the violin, Sabina Lehrmann the cello, and recorder parts are performed by Markus Zahnhausen.
