Title: If you're looking for a quality recording of the Martin Mass, look elsewhere.
Product review: If you're like me, and wanted to hear Robert Shaw's interpretation of the beautiful mass for double choir by Frank Martin,forget it. The interpretation is absolutely awful; way to slow, and completely devoid of feeling and flow. In some spots, Shaw blatantly disregards the piece's dynamic markings to the great detriment of the performance. Frank Martin, a tremendous and under-appreciated composer deserves far, far better than this. For a good interpretation of the mass, get the RIAS Kammerchor (great production values) or the Westminster Cathedral Choir recording.
