A Trip to the Barber

...Samuel Barber, that is.

I have taken to listening to music again after a (very) sustained absence. Music adds colour and vitality to our lives, yes?

Recently I bought some music I last heard when I was 16. I saw then a film called Casualties of War. Throughout this harrowing movie was a beautiful piece of classical music by Samuel Barber - his Adagio for Strings, Op. 11. I now have it again - click to listen to a sample of it here (it's track 11).
