Absolute Heaven Essential Choral Masterpieces # Composer: Arrigo Boito, Francis Poulenc, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven # Conductor: Robert Shaw # Performer: Donna Carter, Edith Wiens, Delores Ziegler, John Aler # Orchestra: Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Shaw Festival Singers # Audio CD (4 April 2001) # Number of Discs: 1 # Rip 320kbs # Full covers included This sampler, which appeared in 1997, features Robert Shaw, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and its associated choruses in selections from some of the choral-orchestral blockbusters they recorded for Telarc between 1979 and 1993, in consistently excellent sound. Shaw's unrivalled mastery of this repertory shines through in every selection on the disc, not least in the excerpts that frame the program: the final pages of the "Prologue in Heaven" from Boito's Mefistofele, and the towering conclusion of Mahler's Symphony No. 8, both magnificently done.
