performed by Marilyn Horne (mezzo-soprano), Atlanta Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Robert Shaw (conductor)
composed by Johannes Brahms

For fans of mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne and choral director Robert Shaw, this 1988 Telarc disc of Brahms' single-movement works for chorus and orchestra featuring the always popular Alto Rhapsody will be as good as it gets in this world. When this recording was made, Horne was not as young as she used to be, but the accuracy, intensity, and sheer ...

composed by Osvaldo Golijov

The three pieces by Osvaldo Golijov recorded here offer more evidence that his is one of the freest and most compelling voices on the scene. Although he came to the attention of the broader public in 2000 with the bold stylistic juxtapositions of La Pasión según San Marco, Oceana, written in 1996, incorporates a comparable diversity of elements. ...

Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem (1984) more music like this

performed by Arleen Augér (soprano), Richard Stilwell (baritone), Atlanta Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Robert Shaw (conductor)
composed by Johannes Brahms

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's playing is a bit turgid, and Telarc's 1983 digital sound is more than a bit thick. Soprano Arleen Augér's singing is wonderful, but baritone Richard Stilwell's singing is merely adequate. The Atlanta Chorus' singing is, of course, superlative, but except for a few sublime moments, Robert Shaw's interpretation is ...

Verdi: Quattro Pezzi Sacri; Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms (1991) more music like this

performed by Donna Carter (soprano), Atlanta Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Robert Shaw (conductor)
composed by Giuseppe Verdi, Igor Stravinsky

Verdi's Four Sacred Pieces are both a testament to the composer's religious faith and a sublime summation of his musical career. Initially performed separately, in accordance with Verdi's wishes, these choral masterworks are now most often regarded as a set, in recognition that they represent his last outpouring of genius. The Ave Maria is ...

performed by Alastair Miles (bass), Elizabeth Bishop (mezzo-soprano), Mary Dunleavy (soprano), Stephen Gould (tenor), Atlanta Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Donald Runnicles (conductor)
composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

At the hands of Donald Runnicles and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 receives a fairly conventional performance, competently played but neither inspired nor especially insightful. One might classify this as an old-school romantic interpretation, or perhaps a mannered imitation of that style since it sometimes ...

composed by Christopher Theofanidis, David Del Tredici, Leonard Bernstein

Fans of contemporary but conservative choral music brimming with tonal melodies, steady rhythms, and accessible harmonies may find this Telarc album a pleasant diversion, though they should also note that the works presented here by Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus are fairly dramatic, somewhat presentational, a little ...

composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Thomas Tallis

Brilliant programming is here undone by mediocre performances. Starting with Thomas Tallis' brief a cappella chorus "Why Fum'th in Fight" to lead into Ralph Vaughan Williams' ecstatic string orchestra Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis based on "Why Fum'th" was a brilliant idea. For the first time, listeners could hear the source and the ...
