popular music: Robert Shaw ...     popular music:       Songs of Angels - Christmas Hymns and Carols28 reviews Robert Shaw Chamber Singers Telarc, 1994 All-Time Christmas Best! This is easily my all-time favorite Christmas collection. There are other excellent choir albums, of course, but the Robert Shaw Chorale is the finest in every way, and inclusion of the (rarely performed) Boar's Head song puts this one at the top. EVERYONE who likes traditional Christmas music should own this album.             The Many Moods of Christmas (1963 RCA Victor Version) Robert Shaw Chorale and Orchestra17 reviews Robert Shaw RCA, 1997 It will lift up your Spirit I was stunned to find this Album still existed and had been re-mastered and transferred to CD, and that so few reviews had been written about it. I first heard this magnificent product - on vinyl - at the time of it's original release in 1961 ( there seems to be some confusion among Web-sites about when it was first produced, but I remember it being 1961). That particular year had been a ...             Choral Masterpieces9 reviews Wayne Baughman, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Telarc, 1990 Uncle Abe rattles the house with this thing I came home from work one day when my uncle was visiting my wife and myself. He was recently retired from the ministry. He had heard a lot of choral music in his life. My aunt said he had the stereo ( power end of my stereo at the time was an Adcomm 555 amp. conservatively rated at 200 watts RMS per channel) up so loud it was rattling the whole house. I too have come to love this music. I ...             25 Vivaldi Favorites9 reviews Virginio Bianchi, Nicolas Chedeville, ... Vox (Classical), 1999 terrific Vivaldi 25 favourites is marvelous ,it has been digitally enhanced and is certainly a keeper.Really am pleased with anything i have purchased from Amazon             Mary Poppins (2005 Original London Cast)44 reviews Robert B. Sherman, Richard M. Sherman, ... Walt Disney Records, 2005 Wonderful What a great CD. Not only is it fantastic quality, but it arrived well before I expected it to. Well done Amazon.             A Robert Shaw Christmas - Angels on High22 reviews Charles Sprawls, William Bland, ... Telarc, 1997 Inspiring Christmas music This is some of the most beautiful Christmas music I own. It is all sung a cappella, proving that the human voice is as good as any instrument in conveying the message and spirit of the carols. I purchased it because I liked the Robert Shaw Chorale's Christmas albums, but to me this later group of singers sounds just as inspiring. This CD has the advantage of more modern recording techniques ...             Verdi: Requiem & Operatic Choruses12 reviews Paul Plishka, Giuseppe Verdi, ... Telarc, 1990 A memorable album by Robert Shaw I sometimes wonder why any top choral conductor would want to conduct, least of all record, a piece where the soloists invariably command center stage at the expense of the chorus. Robert Shaw (1916 - 1999), of course, is practically a god in the choral world. And while he has done well as an orchestral conductor, his claim to fame to most will always be his work with choruses. So here we ...             Faure Requiem Op.48 / Durufle Requiem Op.926 reviews Robert Shaw, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus Telarc, 1990 Fast and in a very good condition Fast and in a very good condition             A Festival Of Carols / Robert Shaw Chorale16 reviews Robert Shaw, John Henry, Jr. Hopkins, ... RCA, 1990 The quintessential Christmas recording This recording seems to elicit universal and heartfelt praise. Who am I to dispute that? The performance is terrific, just as described by the other Amazon reviewers, no doubt about it. However, I do have one bone to pick with this recording. There just isn't enough of it. With material as good as this, that is a real loss!             Broadway, My Way155 reviews Linda Eder Atlantic / Wea, 2003 the best female singer of the great american standards. i am turning 60 years old this year. i went to my 1st.broadway musical in 1960. over the years i have had the honor to see almost all of the giants of american song, garland, streisand, patti lupone, lena horne, betty buckley, barbaracook etc. in "broadway, my way" linda eder cements her place as the best of the best. from an anthem like "i am what i am" to the lovely "on the street where ...             The Best Of Wagner8 reviews Richard [Classical] 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 musicians, not merely an amorphously gorgeous orchestral sonority. The music unfolds without self-indulgent pointing, in a ...             Vivaldi: Gloria; Bach: Magnificat12 reviews William Stone, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Telarc, 1989 Robert Shaw "Gloria" and "Magnificat" are both magnificant Recently, I purchased the Vivaldi "Gloria" and the Bach "Magnificat" performed by Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony Chorus. It is wonderful -- as are all Shaws recordings. It has that driving rhythmic vitality which all of his work does. This is especially effective in these two exciting pieces. I have never heard a better rendtion of either of these works and I have heard many. All of the ...             Sergei Rachmaninoff: Vespers (Mass for Unaccompanied Chorus)54 reviews Sergey Rachmaninoff, Robert Shaw Festival Singers, ... Telarc, 1999 Not Russian, but Shaw.... Shaw was uniquely American, born and raised in Southern California, a director of the San Diego Symphony before taking the helm in Atlanta, and at one time had thought of going into the Ministry. His interpretations (with rare exceptions) of any music of a "sacred" nature are deep in emotion and spirituality, and reflect an American attitude of letting the music speak for itself. I read with ...             The Power & The Majesty: Essential Choral Classics6 reviews Robert Shaw Festival Singers, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Choruses Telarc, 1995 Best of American Choral Singing! This CD could be the cornerstone of your choral music library! Wonderful performances of all of the essential choral pieces give a wonderful introduction to choral music for someone new to it, and also give a nice sampler of the best pieces for someone already familiar with the music. Listening to each excerpt may inspire you to purchase the entire work! As you would expect of performances by ...             Brahms - Ein Deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem) / Auger, Stilwell, Atlanta SO, Robert Shaw21 reviews Johannes Brahms, Robert Shaw, ... Telarc, 1990 Lush and very moving I am a big fan of the numerous Karajan recordings, and I found many similarities in this reading. This performance has a rich, thick romantic feel that can really overwhelm you. Shaw's tempos are a little brisker, though, but overall the lush atmosphere is pure Karajan. Arleen Auger has a gorgeous voice, but I felt she was holding back. Richard Stilwell, on the other hand, really let loose ...             The Many Moods of Christmas15 reviews Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, Robert Russell Bennett Telarc, 1990 You'll be Happy There is an earlier 1963 recording of the same material. This newer recording is by far superior. The 1963 recording has been remastered for "improved" sound and in the transformation the quiet parts got loud and the loud parts got shrill and distorted.             Franz Joseph Haydn: The Creation17 reviews Franz Joseph Haydn, Robert Shaw, ... Telarc, 1992 Best recording of this oratorio This oratorio is excellent. From a musical viewpoint, the orchestration, vocal work, and overall technics of this work are superbly done. In the spiritual sense, this oratorio manages to get the real feel of the Creation. You can see God's awesome works being performed before your eyes. When the final chorus is sung you leave with a greater sense of God and power. One piece that is very well ...             A Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas16 reviews George Frideric Handel, Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych, ... Telarc, 2001 Fresh and Original Arrangements As you might expect, this is quite a grand Christmas recording, featuring the choir, orchestra, and mighty organ of the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City under their new conductor, Craig Jessop, who studied under the late Robert Shaw. What is especially welcome about this recording is that although it consists of the standard traditional Christmas carols, the arrangements are fresh and ...             Handel - Messiah / Erickson, McNair, Hodgson, Humphrey, Stilwell, Atlanta SO, Shaw21 reviews Richard Stilwell, George Frederick Handel, ... Telarc, 1990 A GREAT VERSION TO LISTEN TO SHAW'S ASO & CHORUS DO A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THIS MESSIAH. IT IS ALSO LIGHT & AIRY WITH GOOD SOLID SOLOISTS. IT IS NOT FLAT, IT IS MOVING. NOTE THAT CONDUCTOR SHAW SETS HIS MUSIC TO A FASTER PACE AS COMPARED TO OTHER CONDUCTORS. SO HIS HALLELUJAH CHORUSES ARE RAPID. HOWEVER, IF YOU COMPARE IT TO MESSIAHS OF THE 1960S/70S ALL YOU WILL HEAR ARE SLOW ORCHESTRAS & VERY FLAT VOICES. YOU CANNOT HAVE A ...             Sea Shanties26 reviews The Men of the Robert Shaw Chorale RCA, 1999 What do you do with a drunken sailor? Those mellow voices of the men's chorus from Robert Shaw set a salty gait for a listener keen to the rhythms of life at sea and ashore. Voices are well balanced. This disk is a hearty addition to prize in one's music library. It is not to be missed.              search for popular music atlanta, broadway, chorale, choruses, christmas, classics, creation, deutsches, durufle, erickson, essential, favorites, festival, hodgson, humphrey, magnificat, majesty, masterpieces, operatic, orchestra, original, poppins, rachmaninoff, requiem, shanties, stilwell, tabernacle, unaccompanied, vespers, vivaldi popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
