Dvorák: Mass in D major; Te Deum

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Dvorák's Mass in D is a pretty, relaxed little piece, originally composed for choir and organ and later orchestrated. The Te Deum, by contrast, is a vivacious masterpiece from his American period. Unfortunately, neither work is all that well performed or recorded here. The Russian performers bring a wholly inappropriate heaviness to music which ought to sound fresh and light. There are finer performances of both works on London and Supraphon, so this is no real loss. --David Hurwitz

This compilation features excerpts from some of the greatest sacred works in the literature--including Bach's Mass in B Minor, Handel's Messiah, Beethoven's Missa solemnis, and Verdi's Requiem--all led by Robert Shaw. The selections, from recordings made between 1983 and 1997 by Shaw and various ensembles including the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, are presented more or less in order of their composition, from Vivaldi's Gloria to Arvo Pärt's Magnificat. Especially thrilling is the complete "Gloria" from the Missa solemnis, 17 minutes of sheer grandeur, and the Sanctus movements from the Requiems of Verdi and Maurice Duruflé. --Ted Libbey

It is absolutely breath-takingly beautiful........2007-05-15

I enjoyed this CD very much. It is just beautiful music.

Robert Shaw Choruses At Their Best!.......2004-09-20

If Sir Robert were still alive, & breathing, I believe he would be caught-up making music with this awesome, majestic, mystical GLORIA, Sanctus, Hallelujah Masterworks! I lucked-up on this old collection in the few classical CD'S in Best Buy!

At first hearing they sent me back into the 1970's when most of Church Musicians majored in Vivaldi's Gloria, the Sanctus of Bach's B-Minor Mass, the Long, georgeous GLORIA, Missa Solemnis, Beethoven, and incomparable Alleluia by Randall Thompson.

During a visit of Hurricane IVAN'S rushing winds and torrents of rain, I stayed on back roads of Decatur and East Atlanta! Also keeping alert & relaxed listening to Robert Shaw re-inventing his Choral Mystique! In slowly moving traffic of 2++ hours to Fayetteville, I kept alert singing along at 30 mph, wrapped in his quiet heavenly beauty of Koplov's "Heavenly Light!"

That mysteriously spiritual power of glorious choruses provided the same resourceful sounds of his eternal music-making from rehearsals in the Atlanta Symphony Chorus, Westminster Choir College and Avery Fischer Hall concerts in NYC! (1975-1985)

Only the early 33 1/3 recordings of the Robert Shaw Chorale in his Spirituals and Irish Songs, later Handel's Messiah and Bach B-Minor Mass were forerunners to his awesome listing of repeated Grammy winners, now printed in digital stereo color and sound! Hooray for Sir Robert and his rich chorale legacy... Let's keep them singing for Eternity! Retired Chaplain Fred W Hood

Glorious.......2000-06-30

If I had to choose one conductor to compile exerpts from the greatest masses and works in choral literature and history, I would only bestow that duty to Robert Shaw and his choruses. Once again he displays his uncanny ability to not only choose beautiful music but also perform it in a spellbinding manner. Even with the pieces the average listener has heard or performed, such as Vivaldi's Gloria or portions of Handel's Messiah, one cannot help but become enthralled with the recordings of Shaw's interpretations of those works. Although Shaw never followed through on his early-life ambition to be a minister, I still believe he does so and perhaps to a greater extent through his music ministry. One cannot help but feel closer to understanding what heaven is about after having finished listening to this CD. This is well worth buying for it will live up to the english interpretation of its Latin title: Glorious.

This sampler, which appeared in 1997, features Robert Shaw, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and its associated choruses in selections from some of the choral-orchestral blockbusters they recorded for Telarc between 1979 and 1993, in consistently excellent sound. Shaw's unrivalled mastery of this repertory shines through in every selection on the disc, not least in the excerpts that frame the program: the final pages of the "Prologue in Heaven" from Boito's Mefistofele, and the towering conclusion of Mahler's Symphony No. 8, both magnificently done. Just one warning: after listening to this, you're likely to find yourself hurrying back to buy the recordings of the complete works. --Ted Libbey

One Who Loved Sir Robert; eager to see him again .......2006-06-30

If anyone goes back into that memory of nostalgia...It is easy to create good reminders of seeing, hearing and singing with Sir Robert Conducting JS Bach, Berlioz, Brahms, Mozart, Poulenc, Schubert and Vivaldi!

When anyone hears once again Donna Carter, Edith Wiens, Judith Blegen, Susan Dunn, Christine Brewer, Dawn Upshaw and William Stone it is a totally unforgetable Moment! Upon more keenly intense listening I found similarities in the voices of Edith Wiens...Judith Blegen and Donna Carter. In fact, I can exchange the songs of Donna, Edith and Judith without being sure of which is the right soprano. That is almost equal to the voice of Susan Dunn! The last two Sopranos, Christine Brewer and Dawn Upshaw are different qualities with a bit more variety of color and depth! Shaw had a masterful taste in choosing the right soprano for each demand and challenge!

When one dwells upon Shaw Favorites with CD's of "Deep River & other SPIRITUALS, Christmas with Robert Shaw, surely, CHORAL MASTERPIECES and Johannes Brahms GERMAN REQUIEM...what else is THERE?

No other Choral Inflence has been seen greater than upon Donald Neuen, Craig Jessop or Norman MacKenzie! SING-Cerely, "Revi" Fred W Hood

I may be musically challanged but...........2002-10-23

This is one of those recordings that would have a hole worn in it from overuse if CD's were capable of getting holes from being used. This is the most used CD in my entire collection. I love it! It picks me up when I am down and it quiets me when I am high. It send shivers down my spine and sets my heart pounding. In short, it does everything a good CD is supposed to do. I don't want to listen to an hour of the same piece. I am entirely content listening to the highlights. As I said before, I may be musically challanged, but this CD is my favorite.

Good selection of pieces, uniformly flat performances.......2000-07-27

This is a collection of choral selection from previous Telarc recordings featuring the Robert Shaw Chorale and the Atlanta Symphony. Recording dates range from 1979 to 1993.

It's a great cross-sampling of (mostly) Romantic-era choral pieces, the choral singing is as usual impeccable, and it's a great group of soloists.

As these excerpts are from some of my very favorite pieces of music, I kept wondering why I wasn't more enthusiastic about this compilation.

Part of the problem is hearing the music in excerpts (a movement here, an aria there) is pretty frustrating. Entering smack in the middle of the last movement of Mahler 8, it can take you a while to get your musical bearings.

I'm also not wild about most of the interpretations, many of which struck me as kind of flat and uninspired (the Verdi Requiem and the Mahler 8 stick out in my mind). Suffice to say I didn't learn anything new about any of the pieces on the album, and in every case there is a recording of the work I like much better. (Except the Cavalleria rusticana excerpt, which I really liked, go figure.)

Bottom line: if you're not familiar with these works, and want a good (and very well-performed) cross-section of Romantic choral pieces, give it a listen. But then do yourself a favor and buy complete and more inspired versions of the pieces you really like.

Standard Shaw.......2000-05-29

Like all of Shaw's recordings, this one is once again up to standards. A great assortment of selections from the religous works of many artists.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Versions of Both Pieces.......2004-08-09

This CD contains some of the better versions of both Dvorak's Mass and Te Deum. The Russian singers lend a bit of otherworldliness to the pieces, which works as an effect because the music is supposed to speak to you on a different level. The opening on the first track is very beautiful, and I have to disagree with the editorial reviewer, who perhaps may not be accustomed to Russian choral singing, but the Mass is sung very lightly and very intensely as appropriate. Te Deum is a heavy, bombastic piece, and the orchestra especially shines during "Te Deum" and "Dignare Domine." A slight dislike on "Tu, Rex Gloriae" is that the sopranos and altos don't enunciate very clearly. Overall, a satisfying purchase.

Pretty and Relaxed?!?.......2001-06-09

Mass in D is a "pretty, relaxed little piece"? Dvorak's Mass in D is not to be patronized. It deserves better. It is vigorous, beautiful, nuanced, and contains huge contrasts in dynamics and tone that make it more than a bit of flowery music.

Dua obras sacras grandiosas.......2000-06-20

A Missa em Ré maior de Dvorak, se encaixa em um contexto de obras religiosas mais grandiosas que já ouvi. Desde o Kyrie até o Agnus Dei, a sutileza com que as notas musicais foram escritas, chegam a emocionar o ouviente. O Coro e a Orquestra surpreendem, pois se encaixam exatamente no que Dvorak quis expressar nesta missa. No Te Deum, uma obra de agradecimento, também tem presente todos os fatores que o levam a uma obra grandiosa.

Album Description

Truly a legend in his own time, Herbert von Karajan was both celebrated and criticized for the "beautiful" sound he cultivated over hundreds of best-selling studio recordings with the Berlin Philharmonic. This four-CD set helps answer the critics by showcasing the conductor at his most intense — live in the 1960s and '70s.

Leading the Vienna Philharmonic, Karajan offers more mental — and, arguably, his most compelling — interpretations of his signature works; highlights include Haydn's "London" Symphony, Schubert's "Unfinished," and Dvoràk's Eighth, as well as Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra and sacred works by Mozart and Bruckner.

Drawn from the Salzburg Festival archives, these recordings — dating from 1964 to 1979, with three of the four discs in stereo — were digitally remastered by Ton Eichinger Studio in Vienna.
