Barber: Adagio for Strings -
Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings is a powerful piece, packed with emotional intensity ... more
yet also extraordinarily listenable--and popular.
Here, Barber's short masterwork of simplicity and
resonance gets eight treatments, from those he
approved of (Charles Munch and the strings of the
Boston Symphony; the Tokyo String Quartet;
organist David Pizarro; and the Smithsonian
Chamber Players) to new interpretations that don't
quite match with the older renditions. James
Galway's new flute-and-synthesizer reading is a
bit anemic, though thankfully not showy, and the
Canadian Brass's arrangement is likewise tempered
and calm, even if not very close to having
significant bite. Richard Stoltzman and the Kalman
Clarinet Choir probably do the best job of taking
Barber to new places; the woody tones mesh almost
polyphonically. Also included is the Choir of
Trinity College's reading of Agnus Dei, Barber's
choral setting of the Adagio, a distillation that
might well be the high point of the CD. For the
most stunning rendition of the Adagio, however,
listeners should really hear the Thomas Schippers
version. --Andrew Bartlett

Ernie Ball Strings.
Review of Ernie Ball Guitar strings by
 JaYmEZ
Advantages: Great well known strings.
Disadvantages: Suck with tone towards the end of their life.
...INTRODUCTION:
First off these are guitar strings for electric guitars, acoustic guitars ( that are amplified to become electoacoustics with similar circuitry as electric guitars) But not classical guitars, with Nylon strings :-)
As with all products these days, a review on just plain old " Ernie Ball Strings " is very wide and open ! So I will be basing mine on use with the following products only.
Nickel ( not the brighter / treble accenting steel ones !!! ) wound electric guitar strings
"SUPER SLINKY" ( "9's " / "9-42" )
9, 11, 16, 24, 32, 42.
"REGULAR SLINKY" ( "10's " / "10-46" )
10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46.
"SLINKY TOP HEAVY BOTTOM" ( "10-52" )
10, 13, 17, 30, 42, 52.
EXPLAINATION TIME :
Right not a lot of that above will mean much to non-guitarists, or beginners so I...

Slow, smooth Baroque
Review of Albinoni's Adagios by
 MAFARRIMOND
Advantages: Relaxing, serene, dreamy
Disadvantages: The first track is not actual Albinoni
...State library.
Albinoni was to die in 1751, in his beloved Venice.
The Music
The CD contains 23 of Albinoni?s slower movements taken from his concertos and sonatas. Many are adagios, others are andante (walking pace), Larghetto (quite slowly). All though are slow in tempo. The overall effect is that of a slow serenity.
The first track on the CD is the popular Adagio for Organ and Strings in G minor. This piece, however, had little to do with the compositions of Albinoni. It was constructed from a fragment by the 20th century musicologist Remo Giazotto who holds the copyright. Here, it is played a little faster than a lot of the other versions available. Each individual instruments is heard clearly and brightly. It is an absolutely delightful rendition of a favourite piece of music albeit not Albinoni?s own and provides...
