I purchased this CD only to listen to Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings, OP.11". This piece has often be played in funerals. Though I felt drawn to it because of three reasons: 1) The music feels like coming together after a devastating storm has just passed.. 2) The music at times feels like deeply mourning the loss of a dearly loved one ... 3) Play this music when you retire to bed at night.. close your eyes, and relax. The music embraces you and carries you far into the regions of your own heart... what swells thereof you shall see.. Let go, let God, love yourself :-)
August 29, 2008Bernstein's usual wonderful interpretations of 5 pieces.
This is probably the best performance of Barber's Adagio you can find and I have heard them all. One other note is Williams' Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis... it is spellbinding. This cd is definately worth the price if you are into slower strings.
May 15, 2007Barber's Adagio for Strings has become my favorite piece of music ever since hearing this recording several years ago. I definitely recommend this for anyone who likes violin music.
February 6, 2007This sounds like a great recording of the Adagio adopted for orchestra.
I personally discovered another cd called Cathedral Classics recorded by Dale Warland Singers which gives a superior recording of the same music.
Dale Warland gives an unmatched quality that is available on the Internet.
February 1, 2007This music brings thoughts to my mind. I relax and think about good memories. But something in the music makes me sad sometimes and I can't stop listening to it because it is so beautiful. I want this CD to be played at my funeral. Only because it would bring good thoughts to people who know me now, but also just because it is so serene.
