Mass in B Minor Main Performer or Conductor: Robert Shaw Accompaniment/Orchestra: Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chamber Chorus Soloists: McNair Ziegler Simpson Aler Stone Paul Instrumentation: Choir Orchestra Individual Works: Mass in B Minor, BWV 232 Format: Unspecified Record Label: Telarc Catalog Number: CD-80233 Year Released/Recorded: 1990 Total Playing Time: 117:51 Comments: Fair warning from David N. Hudson : "I have the St. Matthew Passion by Gardiner and I like it very much. I also have the Messiah by Shaw which I do not, mostly because he gravitates toward women who use excessive vibrato and sound like they are screeching. I notice that Shaw uses the same singers for the Mass in B minor... I very much like the female singers that Gardiner uses. They do not overdo the vibrato and as a result sound like angels as oppossed Shaw's pompous, howling, overwrought grande dammes."
