Robert Shaw is one of the most celebrated choral directors in living memory. He has directed multiple Christmas recordings, including The Many Moods of Christmas pictured here. He is best known for directing the Robert Shaw Choral and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. In fact, there are recordings available of this music by both of these groups directed by Shaw. The chorus I sing with is going to be performing part of The Many Moods of Christmas in concert this coming week. Even though this is the Shaw directed performance I have picked specifically to feature, I also recommend the other Shaw directed Christmas recordings, of which there are several. I think I've got them all and have enjoyed every one of them. These would be a fabulous addition to any collection of Christmas music.
