Carmina Burana

[Space Cataz]

Does anybody know which version of Carmina Burana is the best. I wanna know because there are a lot of different versions by different orchestras.

I don't know which one is the best but I have the Naxos version of it. That one is pretty good. Me likey Camina Burana.

Do they all really sound the same,
I have a version of it that came with the YTMND soundtrack,
will it sound like it?
Will it sound like the one they used in Jackass (Same as the last version I mentioned)?

They sound similar, but some versions are faster paced than others. Whereas some composers like to have it a little slow. I haven't heard those other versions that you mentioned, but I think that the version I have plays carmina buranna fairly fast, although I have heard faster. The thing I like about Naxos is that their CD's are inexpensive, but the quality is really good.
