- There is an excellent recording of R's VESPERS by Robert Shaw and the
- Robert Shaw Festival Singers (not the large Atlanta Symphony Chorus)
- on Telarc, CD-80172, recorded in 1990 in Quercy, France. This is, I
- think, one of Shaw's best, ranking with the old RS Chorale's CHRISTMAS
- HYMNS AND CAROLS.
