Hier mein Radiobeitrag zu Samuel Barber

Yesterday (ups) would have been Samuel Barbers 100th birthday. His style of composition was rather conservative, but he created a lot more great works than the adagio for strings. His classical music, with only a touch of modernity, is often very easy to listen to while not as shallow as a lot of e.g. classical film music. (Barbers music has been used in motion pictures only after his death with the exception of David Lynch's "The Elephant Man")

This is a very different idea of the adagio for strings - this peace works however you want it to.
