Carmina Burana - I need a good CD

I need a recommendatin of a good recording of the Carmina Burana, by Carl Orff. The more big and bawdy the better.

Extraordinarily dynamic!

I am still waiting on my Denon 5900 to be transformed by Dan Wright (he should receive it tomorrow), so I haven't even had a chance to hear the SACD layers, but needless to say, I am looking forward to it! Thank you for an excellent recommendation. Tom.
