5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, May 23 2003
By John Prothero "jakethejeep" (Garden Grove, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first heard this recording of the Walton "Feast" on a local classical station, and rushed out the next day to purchase it. It has been one of my "4 Favorite Pieces", and I have been blessed to have performed it twice. It is horrendously difficult to perform for both choir and orchestra, which makes me appreciate the Shaw recording even more. But for the listener, this is still a thrilling recording. I like to think of Shaw's interpretation as relentless: he never lets you go from the opening horn fanfare. The diction of the chorus never suffers from tempo, and the brass is spectacular. What is even more thrilling is to realize that Shaw set up his chorus and orchestra as the score demands: 2 seperate choruses and 2 seperate brass choirs. It is loud, it is bellicose, and it is gentle. The choir whispers the section "The trumpeters and pipers" all the way to the end of that section "shall shine no more." Married with this wonderful recording is the Bernstein "Chichester Psalms", a seldom heard but worthy piece of music. It is rousing, robust, and tender.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love Bernstein!, May 11 2002
By A Customer
Chichester Psalms is hard to find. This piece deserves more credit than recieved. Written by Bernstein for Chichester Cathedral, the hebrew language really brings out the the overall meaning of the three movements. It's a very powerful work he's written and I think Robert Shaw does a fine job conducting this. The dynamics, tempo, and everything is nearly perfect! The Atlanta Symphony does a fantastic job as well. Be sure to keep your hand on the volume because the dynamic contrast is incredible! Just as it should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most exciting...., April 8 2002
By Thomas C. Nagy "Music Teacher" (Ebensburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This recording by Shaw/Atlanta is the most exciting choral/orchestral recording on the market!! William Walton's "Belshazzar's Feast" is truly a masterpiece. A shocking story set to an incredibly dramatic piece of music combined with Shaw's exceptional interpretation, provide the listener with an aural feast!!! The "Chichester" recording makes a nice disc filler, but the Walton is enough to buy the disc.

No collection should be without this recording. That being said, Belshazzar's Feast is an extraordinairy composition. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best choral sound by far
The sound Robert Shaw could get out of the ASOC is phenomenally clear, cohesive, simple, musical, and, as a result, honest. No ugly wobbles here! Read more
