Orff – Oedipus Der Tyrann

An extraordinary and seldom-seen sealed box set featuring Carl Orff’s Oedipus der Tyrann, a compelling modern interpretation of Sophocles’ classic tragedy. Released by Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, this edition is presented in a striking orange clothbound-style box with bold minimalist artwork and authoritative German liner notes (booklet likely included inside). Orff, best known for Carmina Burana, explores ritual, fate, and human downfall through rich choral textures and stark drama in this rarely performed stage work. This production showcases Orff's singular voice in modern classical music — austere, rhythmic, and intensely theatrical.
