	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
		Symphony Orchestra (ASO) is the most widely recognized orchestra and largest arts organization in the southeastern United States.
		Shaw also led the ASO in meaningful engagement with the African American community, hiring the orchestra's first fl players, prompting the election of the first fl members of its board, bringing in many African Americans as guest conductors and performers, and forging relationships with the predominantly fl colleges of the Atlanta University Center.
		Mindful of the need to train young instrumentalists for excellence in future musical careers, the ASO sponsors the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra (ASYO), an ensemble of 120 players of high school age who are chosen by competitive audition, rehearse under ASO conductors and coaches, and give three or more public concerts each year.

	Atlanta Symphony Center Designed By Santiago Calatrava
		The Atlanta Symphony Center is a pivotal project in facilitating the ASO’s continued growth as a cornerstone economic driver and tourism tool.
		The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s expansion of the Woodruff’s South Campus through the creation of Atlanta Symphony Center will be preceded in November 2005 by the major expansion of the North Campus, with the opening of a new “village of the arts” designed by architect Renzo Piano.
		I believe Symphony Center is unique in establishing such a clear connection between the hall and the lobby, the lobby and the exterior green spaces, the plazas and terraces and the city beyond.

	ASOChorus
		Music directors of major symphony orchestras, as Shaw was in Atlanta for 21 seasons, don't take personal charge of turning 200 unpaid volunteers into a superb chorus before leading them in world-class performances of such masterpieces as Haydn's Creation or Berlioz's Requiem.
		Those who know the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus (there are actually two groups, counting the 180-voice symphonic choir and the 60-voice Chamber Chorus) only from attending its performances may not fully appreciate the loss its members felt over Robert Shaw's passing.
		ASO bass Sam Marley, who once attended an out-of-town choral workshop of Shaw's, recalls: "His most memorable remark to that chorus was 'Come back to Atlanta with me. We'll rehearse all day and sing all night!"' Many who sang in his choruses in Atlanta and elsewhere were themselves distinguished professional choral conductors.

		The playing of the Atlanta Symphony is big and beautiful, and soprano Christine Goerke sings brightly and with ease.
		Good as previous recorded performances have been, this performance by the Atlanta Symphony, Chorus and soloists is by far the first choice.
		There are some unqualified pluses here: The singing of the Atlanta Symphony Chorus is technically the best I've heard in this work; their enunciation makes their British counterparts sound a bit mush-mouthed--and they even manage credibly English diction without overdoing it.

		There are currently two versions available - the earlier one, performed by the NBC Symphony (circa 1963), and the later effort (1990) by The Atlanta Symphony, Robert Shaw's "home" orchestra for a number of years.
		The Atlanta Symphony rendering would probably be considered by many to be the more "realistic." It depends, in the end, on personal taste.
		The Atlanta performance, on the other hand, while certainly less suseptable to the manipulated balances of the 60's, seems, as a result, a bit "removed," closer to the more spacious effect of an actual concert hall environment, at least to me. But, again, my preference for the original is based strictly on personal taste.
