Product description 1997,16 songs In this beautifully chosenprogram of mostly a cappella arrangements, Robert Shaw and the Robert ShawChamber Singers deliver the Christmas story in tones of gentle and movingsplendor. The carols and sacred settings recorded here are all of an intimatesort, and the rapturous, gently expressive realizations Shaw and his singersgive them prove unfailingly appealing. Particularly moving is the newest workon the disc, a setting of "O magnum mysterium" by the American composer MortenLauridsen. Franz Biebl's "Ave Maria" is another gem, as is the arrangement byHealy Willan of the French carol "What Is This Lovely Fragrance?" The offeringincludes a pair of chorales from Bach's Christmas Oratorio and two wonderfulChristmas works by Benjamin Britten: "A Hymn to the Virgin" and A Ceremony ofCarols, both well done, even if the sound of sopranos and altos (rather thanboy trebles) in the latter takes some getting used to. --Ted Libbey
