Title: Doesn't do anything for me.
Review: I have great respect for Robert Shaw, and this isn't a bad recording. I just find nothing in it that I'd want to come back to. Too large, diffuse, uninspired.His 1966 Messiah is another matter. Some of those choruses are staggering! I wish he had built on that here, but he seems to have gone off the track.For those who like this one, I recommend either of the Colin Davis recordings, either of the Marriner recordings, and above all, Westenberg.
