| Very soothing and relaxing. I bought this tape specifically for the recording of O Magnum Mysterium after hearing the song at a concert, but the other music is fantastic too. Instant relaxation. |

| Shaw is the master! I purchased this and his Vespers album after buying Vespers performed by two other noted chorales, Shaw's rendition on all of the classic chorale pieces is full of the passion and interpretation I have been searching for! |

A great mix of material

| I wasn't sure about buying this CD at first; it seemed like a very ecclectic mix of material. However, upon a first playing, it is a very soothing disc full of great material. The unreleased tracks are a rare treat, showcasing some early music which Shaw rarely recorded. While these versions may not be 100% accurate to early performance practice, they are still very attractive in their own mysterious way, and Shaw does a good job bringing out the various colors and textures associated with early music. Another unreleased track is the Rachmaninoff "Khvalite imya Gospodne". The fact that this is an alternate take is not made clear by the Cd cover, so you have to read the liner notes. When Shaw was recording this movement, a church bell started to ring in the exact same key right at the end of the piece perfectly in time, almost as if it was planned that way. You can barely hear it, but it is quite magical. The other tracks on this disc are previously released from other Cd's, and they are all quite good, perhaps with the exception of the Schubert piece. The Gorecki "Totus Tuus" is quite beautiful and is performed very well, but it doesn't do much for me personally. The same musical ideas get repeated over and over in the piece, and it doesn't seem to go anywhere. This is just a personal opinion, and if you like it a lot than enjoy it. I would reccomend this disc to all Robert Shaw fans, as this is a great tribute disc to one of the greatest choral masters of all time. |

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 the performance of the Tallis, you'll probably still cry when you hear the Lauridsen later in the CD. One thing about this CD is that after hearing it, my standard for what I could expect in a recording became a lot higher. |
