Barber
Adagio
for Strings, op. 11 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Originally developed as the second movement of Barber's String Quartet
and inspired by a passage from Vergil's Georgics about a widening river's
growth. Although often played at memorials, the Adagio's emotional
charge is both sad and optimistic.

Bernstein recorded the Adagio with the LA Phil in San
Fransisco in 1982. A powerful and rhapsodic performance combined
here on this DG disc with a sensational recording of Copland's
Appalachian Spring too.
