3.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Bag of Barber's Music, July 19 2002
By D. A Wend (Buffalo Grove, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The reason to buy the disc is Horizon, which is the world premiere recording. Horizon is a short work, rather dark and moody. It is a curiosity for lovers of Samuel Barbers music but not as striking or memorable as the Essays for Orchestra, or the Scene from Shelly. The Knoxville: Summer of 1915 that is recorded here is among the worst. Ruth Golden's voice is completely unsuited, and I could not help wondering how such a recording could have been approved for issue. Unfortunately, it spoils what would otherwise be a fairly nice disc. If one wants to hear a great Knoxville, turn to Price, Steber or Upshaw.

The remaining works on the disc are well played. The Capricorn and Serenade are particularly nice. Then the ubiquitous Adagio for Strings makes its appearance. It is comes off well-enough but has been better played by other orchestras.
