At the age of nine he knew that he wanted to be a musician, and a year later he wrote his first opera \\u2013 or at least the first act, after which the cook, his librettist, ran out of ideas! \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eHe initially worked as an organist, and even though he later focused on other areas, organ compositions are found throughout his oeuvre. Rudolf Innig\\u2019s complete recording of these works offers enthralling insights into the development\\r\u003cbr\u003eof Barber\\u2019s full and rich life as a composer.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe famous Adagio for Strings is of course a must. This heartrending piece was performed at the state funerals of Presidents Roosevelt and Kennedy and at the memorial services for Grace Kelly and Albert Einstein. Puff Daddy and Herbert Gr\\xf6nemeyer have arranged it, and it has even been featured at the Olympic Games. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eBarber himself arranged the version for organ. As things turned out, he did not exactly welcome its overwhelming success because it meant that other works in his extensive oeuvre did not receive their fair share of the spotlight.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eRudolf Innig, MDG's resident organist, has received great critical acclaim and many plaudits for his recordings on the MDG label.\u003cp\u003eTo Longwood Gardens\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree Chorale Preludes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePartite Diverse Sopra \\u2018Straf\\u2018 Mich Nicht In Deinem Zorn\\u2018 I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePartite Diverse Sopra \\u2018Straf\\u2018 Mich Nicht In Deinem Zorn\\u2018 II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrelude And Fugue In B Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuite For Carillon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChorale For A New Organ\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdagio For Strings Op. 11\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWondrous Love: Variations On A Shape-note Hymn Op. 34\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChorale Prelude On \\u2018Silent Night\\u2018 From \\u2018Die Natali\\u2018 Op. 37\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55159381557633,"sku":"678034","price":15.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61YeT6Q55vL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767976034","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/678034","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
