		Shaw came from a family both religious (his father, Shirley R. Shaw, was a minister of the Church of Christ) and enthusiastically musical (his mother, a fine soloist, was a mainstay of the choirs in her busband's churches).
		Shaw was profoundly disappointed with the state of choral music in America at the time.
		Perhaps Shaw himself was less surprised than anyone at the Russians' approval, since he had always insisted that there was "something naively communicative in chorale" which would be uniquely able to transcend national differences and reveal the qualities of emotion and "heart" invested in the work by the performers.

		Robert Shaw was a genius at getting exactly the sound he wanted from his groups.
		The luminous pacing of 'There is no rose of such virtue' is notable, and to his credit Shaw employs the ecclesiastical pronunciation of the various Latin passages, unlike The Sixteen (and most other English choir recordings of this piece) who insist on an idiomatic British pronunciation of Latin, which offers nothing but distraction.

		But "decent" is just not good enough; some of these fail to catch fire in one way or another, and none of them have the choral excellence of this Shaw recording under consideration.
		The otherworldly effect in the "Hostias" of having flutes and trombones separated by many octaves, to represent the immensity of the distance from Heaven to Hell, is captured perfectly, right down to the trombones' pedal-tone growl (just one of many Berlioz innovations).
		Regrettably, Robert Shaw never committed the Berlioz Te Deum to disc; it would have made a perfect filler.
