| | Samuel Barber: Dover Beach |
 | | Samuel Barber wrote this music with these words in mind, "When I am Writing music for words, then I immerse myself in these words, and I let the music flow out of this." Thomas Allen brings elegance and sophistication to these marvelous pieces of music. | | | This CD is a pleasure to listen to, Thomas Allen brings such understanding and warmth to well loved Barber songs. | | | All in all this CD is a definite 5 stars and I would suggest it highly to any lover of Samuel Barber's music. |

| | Classical Net - Basic Repertoire List - Barber |
| | Barber seemed just to write music, and, in so doing, became controversial, someone to be attacked or defended. | | | Despite the broadening of his musical language, Barber never loses his lyrical gift. | | | The violin concerto (1939) is a transitional work: the first two movements sing sweetly and intently; the last movement burns the barn down with complex meters and new dissonances. |

| | Samuel Barber |
| | Barber’s musical style has been called neo-romantic; essentially lyric and dramatic, utilizing the harmonic language of the late 19th century. | | | Barber displayed musical ability at an early age, composing music at age 7, and playing organ at church services by age 12. | | | Unquestionably, the most popular and well known of Barber’s compositions is the Adagio for Strings (1936). |

| | Samuel's affinity with the voice showed itself not only in a large output of vocal music but also in his fine baritone voice. | | | On this album we hear Barber, himself, singing the opening of his own recording made in 1935. | | | A generously-filled and obligatory album for Barber enthusiasts - particularly for the chance to hear Barber singing his own Dover Beach and the Ormandy, Toscanini and Walter recordings are equally compelling. |

| | In the history of 20th century classical music, Samuel Barber is a well-loved, if not "revolutionary", figure. | | | This album's version of Medea's Meditation and Dance of Vengeance is surprisingly slow tempoed. | | | The rest of the selections are also well-done and welcome (if the "Adagio" is overplayed, the "Hermit Songs" are just not performed enough!). |

| | I claim this is one of the best recording of Barber's Adagio for Strings (lined with Lenny's performance with the LA Phil on DG). | | | The performance of the Barber is not only the worst performance of the Adagio that I've ever heard; it's probably the worst performance of any piece by a major orchestra that I've ever heard, live or recorded. | | | Bernstein's is easily the best recording of the Barber "Adagio" that I have ever heard; Thomas Brown (a previous reviewer), with all due respect, does not know what he is talking about. |

| | Samuel Barber, although an extraordinary child, was even more exceptional as a teenager. | | | Even in the two years of adolescence before he started attending the Institute, Barber was using more varied and difficult harmonies in his music. | | | There he studied composition (1926-31), piano (1926-31) and singing (1926-30).” (Estrella) Most all of the students at the school only took one major, and some of them were a little amazed by the performance of Barber. |

| | Notes on Knoxville: Summer of 1915, op. 24 (Samuel Barber) |
| | With due respect to Rosen, however, I think it could be argued that Barber's music enjoys wider popularity than he seems willing to admit; Knoxville: Summer of 1915 is a case in point. | | | That he realized that nostalgic quality to the music we may take from the remarks of two singers closely associated with the work. | | | His arguments in favor of this much-maligned repertoire, apposite though they are, take a few gratuitous swipes at "conservative modern composers," among them the American composer Samuel Barber, whose music "few musicians have any passionate urge to play or hear." |

| | IHAS: Composer |
| | But perhaps it is as a songwriter that Barber is at his most Romantic and impassioned. | | | Young Sam studied piano at six, began composing at seven, served as a church organist while still in his teens, and developed his attractive baritone voice to the point where he entertained the thought of becoming a professional singer. | | | These piano-vocal compositions, when taken together with Barber's two song settings for orchestra, KNOXVILLE SUMMER 1915 to words by James Agee and DOVER BEACH to a Victorian text by Matthew Arnold, make a powerful case for Barber as one of the twentieth century's most accomplished songwriters. |

| | Samuel Barber program notes (Jan'03) Chamber Orchestra of the Springs |
| | Barber's Violin Concerto was commissioned in 1939 by businessman Samuel Fels for his young protégé Iso Briselli, who rejected the first two movements as "too easy." This seems strange today, when most listeners appreciate these movements for their dramatic phrases and colorful harmony. | | | Barber followed with the finale, marked "Presto in moto perpetuo," which was written in a more modern vein and leaves the violin soloist frantically racing along a seemingly endless trail of notes. | | | In the 1930s, when Samuel Barber (1910-1981) was being lauded in some quarters as one of the most talented American composers of his generation, the modernists in academic circles lambasted his music. |

| | Michael O'Sullivan: TO THIS DAY, I can't listen to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings without getting teary at the memory of the final scene in "The Elephant Man" in which John Merrick (John Hurt), over Barber's crushingly sad composition, ends his own life, merely by rearranging the pillows that support his hideously deformed head. | | | Sting (from a Berklee graduation address): I never tire of hearing Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" or Faures "Pavane" or Otis Redding's "Dock of the Bay." These pieces speak to me in the only religious language I understand. | | | Kirk McElhearn (His post includes a graphic of iTunes with the Emerson String Quartet recording.): Well, there's a simple way that iTunes could improve the user experience for classical music fans, and it's something that the iTunes Music Store already uses. |

| | Much of his adult musical career can be summarized by this quote: “Samuel Barber was a curious figure in the music world of the first half of the 20th century. | | | “The Adagio for Strings was arranged for string orchestra from the slow movement of Barber's string quartet of 1936 and played in this form by the NBC Symphony Orchestra under Toscanini in New York two years later, in a programme that included his first Essay.” (Estrella) | | | Samuel Barber’s music was influenced by three main things: his time spent at the Curtis Institute of Music, his trips to Europe, and his uncle, Sidney Homer. |
