Adagio for Strings
Originally written as the slow movement of a string quartet, this musical treasure was singled out by conductor Arturo Toscanini, who asked Barber for a string orchestra arrangement. It was played on a national radio broadcast following the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and has been part of the national consciousness ever since. This is a work of singular beauty and calls for great expressiveness and control.
