Samuel Barber's lyrical melodies and unabashed romanticism have earned him a cherished place in the pantheon of 20th-century composers. Recorded here are some of Barber's finest works for choir (including the world-beloved Agnus Dei) alongside 2 world premières: a new version for chamber chorus and orchestra of Barber’s anguished work The Lovers on poetry by Pablo Neruda, and a new version of Easter Chorale, which were both made by Robert Kyr for Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare.
