Under the heading of "old business," someone a while back asked for opinion on the B Minor Mass of Robert Shaw. It is a performance I like a lot. Actually I prefer HIP treatment for Bach, but I think that Shaw goes a long way to give a dynamic life to this music. He has fine singers…..One of my favorites in the mass is the "Laudamus te" and you will go a long way to hear it sung any better than Delores Ziegler sings it….and the opening long phrase in one breath…..in a tempo more relaxed than one hears in other readings. Julianne Banse (Rilling) can also do it in one breath, but at a faster tempo. Veronica Gens (Herreweghe) can make you think that she does it in one breath, but she doesn't quite. She is very clever in this. Wish I could have gotten more singers to be able to do that. The fiddler on the Herreweghe version of this aria turns in a strangely twitchy performance I don't care for. In general I like the Herreweghe BMM very well, but when I just want it!
O lie back and let the music transport me….I turn to Shaw. He has, for me, the right tempos, fine singers, careful, clean, clear players, and a great sense of the architecture of the piece. He rather "experiments" with OVPP in some particularly appropriate sections, and I think that this comes off well. Also the whole is very dramatically satisfying to me. Not exactly the sound I want, but definitely the spirit.
When I was between my junior and senior years at university (1953) I enrolled in a summer term at San Diego State Univ. in a course titled "Workshop in Choral Art," which was taught by Shaw and musician/scholar Julius Herford. Herford did most of the teaching and he was at that point, Shaw's trusted guru. And he was some impressive heavy hitter. He illustrated continually at the piano, and always reading from the full orchestral/choral scores. Awesome! There were about 40 people in the class. We studied a lot of Bach, but also much else. Shaw was conducting the San Diego Symphony in a series of concerts that summer, and we did 2 major choral works. Most of the class members sang in the chorus, along with the local talent enlisted. We did the St. Jn. Passion and the Beethoven Missa Solemnes. Shaw was something to sing under.
