Query: A Classic from the Master

Any student of choral music knows what an enormous impact Robert Shaw had over several decades. This recording is a fine example of his early work, which so impressed Arturo Toscanini. The music on this CD was originally recorded in the late 40's or early 50's. For years it was the only Christmas music our family had...on 78 rpm records. Remember those? We literally played those records to pieces, and were overjoyed when my Dad found the same recordings remastered onto an LP record in 1963. We have since played that one to bits as well. I cried tears of joy when I found this music now on a CD, never to wear out again! I am so grateful that our technology is now saving the priceless recordings and performances of the past. If you love choral music, you will know after hearing this that newer is not always better.
