5.0 out of 5 stars ***THERE ARE NO OTHER RECORDINGS LIKE THIS**, May 27 2003
By Lady Keswick (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
From the opening "Kyrie Eleison", which you will feel down to your feet, to the closing "Dona Nobis Pacem" this CD will blow
your mind. I own the original LP which I happened to find at a used book store in South Philly for $7.00! You MUST play this
as loud as possible. It is earth shatteringly beautiful, sensitive, and leaves me breathless every time I listen to it.
Lucky for you this is on CD! I'm sending a copy to my mother right now!
ENJOY!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Performance with Draw backs yes..., Jul 9 2001
By Michael J. Parker (Winchester Va/Atlanta GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I understand that this recording sounds a little muddy, but what do you expect?! ITS A HISTORIC RECORDING! Robert Shaw and Company recorded this album in 1960. It was THE FIRST AND ONLY recording of the B Minor Mass in the USA, for years! There is a reason why it won th 1960 Grammy Award for Best Choral Recording. Robert Shaw and company went all over the country in 1960 performing this piece in Farm Houses and School Gyms. Bringing this piece of Baroque Mastery to the numberless masses. Accounts of the day talk about people waiting in lines for 10 to 12 hours to hear this group perform THIS PIECE! Dogging this recording for bad recording practices is ok. I will give you that the sound is not crystal clear. But the performance of Chours, Soloist and Orchestra are OUTSTANDING. Know why this piece and this recording had the praise and acclades it had for so long. Own this CD and Own a Piece of History!

3.0 out of 5 stars Bach as Romantic Composer?, Sep 26 2000
By David Gottner (Bellevue, WA United States) - See all my reviews
With its slower tempi and very legato playing and large forces, this does not sound at all like Bach, but rather something from Mozart's pen, or perhaps even later into the romantic period.

The sound is pretty good, but it's not at all faithful to Bach or the Baroque. In this case the mass is better in the hands of a period ensemble like Gardiner's -- Shaw's version is just too ponderous and loses much of the light and brisk quality of BAroque era music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bach at Best
Of course, Bach's music is always soothing to the soul and mind. Studies show that it is possible both Bach and Mozart's music aid in brain development in young children. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Classic Shaw performance of the B Minor Mass.
I have worn out my vinyl records of this performance. The soloists are superb, particularly Adele Addison who did not record much after this. Read more
