New vs. Old Shaw Recording - Reviewed on 2007-11-12
I guess I am spoiled, but I truly like the older Shaw recording of Messiah better than the new one, and I have both of them. To me, these two stand light years above and beyond any other recordings on the market. I had the privilege of hearing in concert in person the Shaw Chorale present the earlier recording of Messiah, and have loved it since the mid 60s. The phrasings, entrances, tempi, diction have, in my opinion never been cleaner, crisper, or equaled, nor will they ever be--on BOTH recordings. In addition, on the later recoring he used only the ASO CHAMBER chorus, a smaller group within the full ASO chorus. He followed Handel's intentions, both in terms of numbers of singers and instrumentalists for both recordings, allowing for different personnel in the different performances that occurred during Handel's lifetime. Thankfully, BMG, formerly RCA, has finally released the older recording, which Mr. Shaw took at a faster tempo generally, and, based on his own comments in the booklet accompanying the 3 LP set, that older recording was based insofar as possible on the 1752-53 version of the work. He used the Watkins Shaw edition of the score (published by the British house of Novello), and the joy of the work literally shines through--on both recordings. You can't go wrong either way; I just happen to like the older recording better. I thank God I had the privilege of singing under him in the Brahms' Requiem in German less than a year before his death. Messiah and the Brahms--What a combination.!!
