SAMUEL BARBER (1910-1981)

This selection of chamber music by Samuel Barber (1910-1981) contains some of his most notable compositions. The youthful Cello Sonata of 1932; Excursions for piano from 1942-44 and the charming Summer Music for wind quintet, written in 1956, amply illustrate Barber's propensity to lyricism, making this a most appealing disc.
