    The strings started out as only four instruments because the “Adagio” was originally the slow movement of Barber’s “String Quartet.”

    I love this Samuel Barber, and to see them playing in front of Munch’s “The Sun” (Oslo University I believe) is simply terrific!!

      I have just starting learning about Barber, but seeing “The Sun” in person is high on my bucket list! I am happy you enjoy these, too, Andy. 😊
