This disk has set the standard for performing the settings of the Requiem mass by two great French masters, Gabriel Faure and Maurice Durufle. The Faure setting is an intimate one with occasional moments of tempestuousness. This particular recording features the more ...

Vivaldi: Gloria; Bach: Magnificat

William Stone, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Telarc, 1989

Great Baroque Choral Music
This is the difinitive recording of Vivaldi's Gloria and Bach's Magnificat on modern instruments. Not but 50 years ago (when period performances were nearly non-existent) choirs like the Roger Wagner Chorale were butchering these works. Robert Shaw comes along and ...

Verdi: Requiem & Operatic Choruses

Paul Plishka, Giuseppe Verdi, ...

Telarc, 1990

Great version
There are version of Verdi's Requiems in that market. I consider this to be onre the best ones I have heard. What adds to this perfomance is the quality of the manufacturer's transfer.

Songs of Angels - Christmas Hymns and Carols

Robert Shaw Chamber Singers

Telarc, 1994

Much Anticipated
I have been looking for this CD for years!! Our family had a Shaw Chorale LP which contained almost all the songs on this CD. We had a number of excellent holiday albums and played all of them often, but we wore the Shaw Chorale album out! Not only are the musical ...

Handel: Messiah

Thomas Paul, George Frederick Handel, ...

RCA, 2004

Inspired
For a work so frequently recorded, one might think, oh, whee, another reissue from the vaults. But among all the many excellent to splendid recordings of Handel's great oratorio, this has always been the one that spoke to me in the most immediate, humane, and ...

The Power & The Majesty: Essential Choral Classics

Robert Shaw Festival Singers, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Choruses

Mozart: Requiem / Auger, Ziegler, Hadley, Krause, Shaw

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, ...

Telarc, 1990

Shaw is the best
This performance of the Requiem is meticulous and rhythmically brilliant, which is one of Shaw's legacies. I have noticed, over the last thirty years, that conductors often miss the juxtaposition of rhythm in the Rex Tremendae. The strings have double dotted rhythm; ...

The Best Of Wagner

Richard Wagner, Eugene Ormandy, ...

RCA, 1991

A hidden diamond
This unassuming budget classic reissue is among the finest of its genre: The Wagner orchestral highlight album, and features the contents of 1973 LP recital the farthest thing from run-of-the-mill, spaciously recorded with the palpable feeling of the presence of the ...

Mendelssohn: Elijah / Shaw, Bonney, Quivar, Hadley, Hampson, Atlanta Symphony (Sung in English)

Thomas Hampson, Thomas Paul, ...

Telarc, 1995

Very excellent, especially the choral work
Having sung in this oratorio many times (both the contralto, and the soprano solo parts) I was very familiar with the work. What hit me first in this recording was the WORDS were not the same as those I had sung so many times. It was sort of a jolt. Instantly, that ...

A Robert Shaw Christmas - Angels on High

Charles Sprawls, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Telarc, 1997

Inspiring!
You simply cannot go wrong with this wonderful collection from a disciplined and masterfully-led chorus. If you want to hear Christmas choral standards in all their glory, no disappointment here - beautiful men's chorus version (original) of Beibl's Ave Maria, and the ...

The Many Moods of Christmas (1963 RCA Victor Version) Robert Shaw Chorale and Orchestra

Robert Shaw

RCA, 1997

A Christmas Classic
Most that are familiar with this album rank it amongst the best Christmas recordings of all time. That said I strongly suggest purchasing Robert Shaw's "A Festival of Carols" instead. Why? Because it contains ever track on this album + 11 others, including the best ...
