    11. Adagio for Strings, Op. 11

      Composer: Samuel Barber

      Ensemble: Royal Scottish National Orchestra

      Conductor: Marin Alsop


Lyricism and obsessive patterns are finely realised by the RSNO, while conductor Marin Alsop shows a keen sensitivity to both scores and balances their rhetoric with the clean-edged clarity of their textures. In addition, her performance of the now-ubiquitous Adagio for Strings is a model of restraint, proving the saying that less equals more. Attractive sound, with a wide range and plenty of definition. - BBC Music Magazine
