Telarc, 2003

Wish there was more.
Poulenc's mass in G is the highlight of this all a cappella disc. At about 18-1/2 minutes total, it is just too short - you want it to continue forever. It's texture is rich and exquisitely executed by Shaw and his forces. Poulenc's sophistication blends the deeply ...

Telarc, 1998

Subtle American Beauty
This CD is amazing. The form and melodies are soft, beautiful, and relaxing. The artists featured cross different time periods in contemporary classical music. The variety of composers features a span of American music not usually seen paired together. The Thomas ...

O Magnum Mysterium

Thomas Tallis, Tomas Luis de Victoria, ...

Telarc, 2000

This is an amazing, amazing product
The only part of the CD I would quibble with is the selection from Rachmaninov's Vespers, but I'm really lucky and have heard that performed live several times and heard multiple recordings, and decided on one that I liked best early on. If you aren't blown away by ...

This is a GREAT recording!
I like this recording very much... as does everyone I know that owns it. I would not hesitate to purchase it again should the need arise.

Telarc, 1993

The Songs Are Truly Stunning -- A Treasure Trove
Your collection of Robert Shaw CDs wouldn't be complete without this easily overlooked volume of Brahms, 40 tracks (62 minutes) worth of impeccably realized choruses. The entire Liebeslieder (Love-Song) Waltzes are here (the first 33 tracks). They've been known to ...

Telarc, 1996

Excellent sampling of 20th century choral music
For choral fans, any disc conducted by Robert Shaw is self-recommending, since he always cultivated a carefully controlled yet expressive sound. This program has one of my favorite versions of Britten's "St. Cecelia," a piece every Britten fan should get to know and ...
