CD Reviews

Buy this for the choral adagio (Agnus Dei )

R. Foster | US | 05/22/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A strong CD offering. The choral version of adagio for

strings is by far the highlight. There are some other fine

tracks as well. The audio quality is fine, giving a good

value for my 10 bucks. Leonard Slatkin, is in his usual

fine form here, and gives an excellent performance of the

original adagio for strings. All the other tracks

are good as well. There is some very powerful music here.

I'm glad I bought this disc.

Since I already own several copies of Barber's Adagio.

I bought this for the choral version which in itself

was worth the purchase.

If you have only a casual interest in Classical Music,

you will almost certainly love the Adagio and Angnus Dei,

and you will at the very least find the other tracks interesting.
