Adagio for Strings SamuelBarber, arr. by Johan van der Linden
Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber actually began as the second movement of Barber’s String Quartet, Op.11 and has since been transcribed and arranged countless times. The version heard here was transcribed by Dutch saxophonist and composer Johan van der Linden and effectively combines the intimacy of the original quartet, the overwhelming power of the string orchestra, and the purity and blend of the choral version.Donald Sinta Quartet
