BARBER Adagio for Strings - "This beloved work has been used famously in films and public moments of mourning."

The Dover Quartet plays the masterpiece by Samuel Barber in its original form, from the composer's String Quartet Op. 11. The piece is primarily known in its version for string orchestra, which is also incredibly powerful- the quartet version, however, lends a sense of intimacy and vulnerability to the work that is truly unique.
