Robert Shaw. One should almost sense a powerful subterranean tremble at the slightest mention of his name. He was – and very much remains – in a class by himself.
Throughout 2013, we have discussed a variety of films that highlight the choral art. Now, comes a project that will result in a documentary titled Robert Shaw – Man of Many Voices. According to the film maker, “The essence of the film will be an exploration of Shaw’s unique gift for crafting and conducting exceptional choral music. Interviews with collaborators, students, choristers, music critics and friends along with Shaw’s biographer Keith Burris will provide insights into Shaw’s complex character and distinctive approach to music making.” View the Trailer
