@danmj2 Look at his fface near the end. It shows great professionalism to conduct something so emotional on its' own without the attachment to that attrocity and stay compsed through out. I couldn't have done it. I would say he needed a break before his composure broke down entirely.
This has always been my favourite classical piece, it's beauty captivating me from a young age. I was watching the Proms live on the BBC this very evening in 2001, and it is a performance I shall never forget. Never has this piece been more haunting, emotional and fitting. Truly beautiful.
I watched this on that night and cried so much. It's extraordinary how a piece of music such as this can bring out emotions which you wouldn't expect to necessarily feel: it's not as if I knew anyone affected by the atrocious events of that Tuesday afternoon, and yet, watching and listening to this beautiful and very fitting piece, it was like I was actually grieving for those who lost their lives. Maybe I was, but whatever it was I felt that night, this piece brought it to the surface.
We nearly lost our way of live on that day. I believe that I will not see the end of this new struggle. It will end one day but how is yet to be seen?
Beautifully Played....Being a Vietnam Veteran, This song brings me back to the rice paddies with my brothers that I left behind. Makes me cry everytime I hear this piece of music. Most Beautiful Piece of Music I Ever Heard.
@mfleming98 dont thak england , thank to the people, yes, People Humans from england chose to present their respect for what happened on 9-11 by singing this beautyful song, but they where not alone, every country every human every one single soul on this cursed earth died a little when hearing about what happened there. so dont thank to annyone because not country's are holding each other back's but people living souls.
@mfleming98 and people from england was not the only country that tried to do something good right and beautyful for that horrible day my dad left to war to aid people from usa to eradicate terorism and he died there and i am from romania a country that u didnt even heard of so dont thank england say thanks tot he people stop the idiotic ideea of patriotism it's stupid and makes people kill each other for nothing , i am not finished but i am too depresed to continue and sorry for my bad english
I believe many Americans do have our backs. Not so sure your current government does when it doesn't take our side over the Falklands and encourages Argentina, which has been making noises again over our islands. Bit of a betrayal that considering how many of our soldiers died there. Please make sure your political reps know that they should remember who their real friends are.
this is a beautiful piece of music .. nice tribute to the almost 4 THOUSAND people who were killed on 9/11 .. will we also get a tribute to the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of innocent iraqis and afgans who were killed in revenge???????? .. probably not
Nice. Although I myself do prefer the Tiesto version. Its less boring. I mean: you really have to be in the mood for this. Though it is beautiful, I cant listen to this for the full 10 minutes. Maybe when I m reading a book or something on a sunday afternoon..

if i was to die and you take my place, would you replace me with the same vent of haste the same rented waste that shouts blame and crys surrender, would you lay yourself down on the marbled ember, would you carry my sword, and cleanse my wounds, would you put yourself forward where the vulture swoons, would you do onto me as i do for you and lay down silent for the nourishment of truth...that is what this music does to me
I heard this piece used to honor the many men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in defending our freedoms and more on 60 minutes for memorial day a couple of years ago, it made me cry, i couldn't speak for a few moments.
I remember this concert as if it was yesterday.... the 2010 series of the proms starts soon and its hard to believe it was 9 years ago -almost. I love the music of samuel Barber but the adagio for strings was so appropriate that day, that night and and at that concert...... out went the jingoistic british music and prominence was given to humilty, loss and bereavement which the adagio conveys so well. Slatkin did a great job.
It was a very moving, I was there in the arena. It was the first time an American conductor was going to lead the last night of the proms. I was looking forward to the end of the season to see what he did and then came the events of 11th September.

Funny . . Barber wrote this piece for his gay lover, and it was intended to convey the dynamic swells of the road to orgasm during a sexual encounter.
has an awsum effect if you play it right e.g. getting the timeing and the sound. however the orchestra that playes this piece every one got lost because the speed was sooooooooooooo slow. not that its a bad thing
"the Orchestra got lost"??? You are talking about a world class Orchestra with world class musicians...Please explain to all of us, how they got lost! Maybe we are missing something out?
All I am hearing is pure emotion and the right feeling for a beautiful piece of music!
I also felt sorry for the conductor... being American and all. Pause at 00:11 and you can see how devistated and shocked he is over it... Thats why he walks off at the end of the piece - I don't blame the guy
Amazing.....We were at Hyde Park for PotP in 2001, and i just cannot expalin the atmosphere in the park while this was being played........Such an evocative and momentous piece.

Thanks to a Homosexual man like Barber whom you can give thanks! History has shown that the Great geniuses have been Gay, like Napoleon, DaVinci and in my opinion Barber
NatesChannel. You are genuine idiot. You have no idea what you are talking about. First off 67 brits died on 9/11. Do you think just because it happend in America we are the only ones who can mourn the dead? It was a tragedy for the entire free world not just America.... I saw the attack from across the river does that mean i can mourn and im geussing you weren't a witness up close so you shouldn't be able to mourn?
I watched the BBC America tape of the program and it was very moving. He asked for a moment of silence before the work, and, after the work, he asked the audience not to applaud. It was the most moving broadcast I've ever seen, since it was only a few days after 9/11.
And ANOTHER thing NakedBison, because you have managed to piss me off that much. Honest, hard working Americans get fucked over all the time! They seldomly end up doing very well for themselves. Where the fuck have you been?!
honest, hard working Americans almost always end up doing very well for themselves. ironEyes fucks up such Americans all the time! ironEyes fucks his own piss
You are all a bunch of tits. Here we have a tribute to people who died due to people hating people and wht do you find to talk about... nothing... just arguments. My old man was killed today... thanks to a real IRA terrorist. I came here to listen to a tribute song, his favourite song. And i see you all arguing. It makes me sick. A curse on all your houses! If we don't stick together as people we're as inhuman as them!
Taxes? Jealous? Who cares when some1 you love is gone!
newsflash NakedBison. The majority of rich "hard working" people were either born into a life of wealth or obtained their money in a corrupt mannor. They didn't work hard at all.
newsflash IronEyes. Here in America, the vast majority of wealthy people became wealthy all on their own. The government obtains money in a corrupt manner. Wealthy people typically work 100-hour weeks, while America-hating socialists spend all of their time bashing America
lazy ironEyes bases his political philosophy on bringing down those who are not lazy, but are successful. since ironEyes loves taxes so much, he should hand over his entire life savings and every penny of his salary over to the government
Texes are necessary. Anyone that deny's that is foolish. However, I agree that the majority of the taxpayers money is being used incorrectly.
Your discussing success as if its purely a materialistic entity. I measure success not only as financial accomplishment, but as personal and spiritual fulfillment.
Turn on the television and see what America defines as "success." A bunch of tallentless pieces of shit that are up to their fucking necks in wealth, yet somehow lack the ability to give back to the community.
I support honest, hard working Americans, but unfortunately, NakedBison, those same hard working Americans that you discuss usually end up with the short end of the stick.
ironEyes is a talentless piece of shit who is up to his fucking neck in jealousy of vastly superior America. ironEyes gives nothing to the community but his hatred of successful countries like America. honest, hard-working Americans almost inevitably end up doing very well for themselves, unlike lazy, entitlement-driven socialists like ironEyes
Oh, and NakedBison, do you fucking think your cleaver for just repeating what I write and trying to flip it around on me (talentless piece of shit is what im refering to)
I have read some of your other comments, and your doing the same shit to other people. Learn how to fucking debate you fucking retard.
@usmc957 - George is indeed an idiot, and only recently I criticised a friend of mine for mocking said attacks - but you sir are, frankly, just as stupid as he.
If you honestly believe that America has more freedoms than any other nation you've obviously never researched the rest of the world - and your belie your arrogant, bigoted nature with your "British fag" remark. I'll remind you it's British soldiers who are fighting & *dying* beside American soldiers to protect those very "US" freedoms.
@MrDavidHarrison Ummm first off so far in 2010 there has been 312 American soldier deaths and only 82 british soldier deaths and yes America is more free than any country (Democracy GOV.), because for every law for every rule for every congress member, there is a vote for every person that wants them in office or wants a law made. Plus you yourself is a little bitch for trying to come in here and use big fancy words to make it look like your smart, but in real life your a big douchebag to every1
@usmc957 - Firstly, do you think that unless we have an equal number of casualties our contribution is irrelevant?
Secondly, as we have a population a 5th the size of the US (& a military an 8th the size) we’ve actually lost a larger percentage of our citizens (& far larger of troops) to this war than the US.
Do you think American lives are worth more than those of people from other nations?
Also, we have democratic government here too, you know...
@usmc957 - ...and, while our elections may be every six years instead of four, we actually have greater power over our elected officials while they’re in office than you do.
Here in the UK our MPs (Members of Parliament, equivalent to your ‘Representatives’) can put forward a “Vote of No Confidence” & depose the PM quite easily. In the US your president is essentially an elected king with a fixed reign of 4 to 8 years who can only be removed by impeachment if he does something actually illegal.
@usmc957 - Finally, I checked my OP & the biggest words I used were ‘criticised’ & ‘researched’ - neither of which I think could be considered particularly “fancy”. If you think my post has “fancy” language I obviously *am* smarter than *you*!
@MrDavidHarrison Actually i was talking about "belie your arrogant, bigoted' no one says that, and plus when a president is elected anything he does is watched over by everyone in the nation. If we wanted to we could be out of the war right now if we had a vote and there was more votes to get out and yes i do care for American soldiers more than british. i dont care that much for the war i believe that we should withdraw soldiers and strengthen our borders with the $13 billionaday we are wasting
No by all means hate whoever you like, but don't just base that on the last decade of the Bush administration, or indeed other dark spots in Americas history! Look back at all the good in the world they have done, all the people and nations they help, including ours! And also don't forget that we are the mother land, many parts of America were owned by the British during the Empire, most, if not all, of their customes, traditions and Government we what we gave them, now do hate Britian as well?
While i think, and i'm one of the few that do, that President Bush was a great leader for your country and choose many a difficult disition in the years after 9/11 i feel that it would be wrong to lable him the greatest since Reagan, as Bush Snr and Clinton had mush more domestic input for your country that is of great benifit. Bush spent to much time with world issues. Not that that's wrong. And now with Obama his got to try to balance the domestic and internatonal stage.
If it is true that President Bush spent more time on foreign affairs than on domestic issues, it is because that is what was necessary and expected from our leaders. Our leaders are chosen primarily to protect us from physical harm, which President Bush did quite well in the aftermath of 9/11. Domestically, he cut taxes three times, resulting in the strongest economy in world history. Only when the Dummycrats took over, did America's economy fall
I agree with you that he did quite well from protecting your nation from from physical harm after 9/11 and that domestically he perfrom well, if not better than other resent Presidents. But needless to say to aftermath of the two wars could have gone better, being British myself it could have gone better for us to. But it's not primarily for would leaders to protect us from harm, its just one the mandates that goes with the office and position, but it's very hard to police and predict! continued
continued... You mention that Bush cut taxes three time, resulting in the strongest economy in world history. And this is true but it is also undoutedley a key reason for why the world economy is in the situation its in now, not just because of your country but mine to and others. Lets not forget either that this situation has been around now for the best part of 18months, coming towards the end of Bush's Presidency, either way you look at it Obama is now the one we must have hope in!
Ironeyes07 is right, although alot of time people may not be born into a life of wealth they, for most part don't even work that hard for it. Normally employing others to do it on their behalf, but thats a luxary they can afford to do! Real hard working people tend to get the minimum, or even below odds and most of time its the rich that takes from the comfortable, the people who get by, or the poor to get richer, just look at the world now. While the rest of us stay in the same position!
that is 100% false. the vast majority of wealthy people in America got there by working very hard and very smart. America-hating socialists wish to hide this fact,because they are jealous of and hate successful people
Loss of life is and will always be a thing to never forget, universal in every single way, this piece of music fits perfectly with the thought.
Wether it was a government operation or a terrorist act, these kind of things are what shakes the roots of mankind to realize what we are doing.
Don't you dare bring religion or any other stereotype factor into this scene, just rid yourself of the drama, realize that you're human, continue with life.
nope, big no, different yes but not better. tiesto's music is bound by tempo numbers however classical music has no tempo bounds simply because the maestro rearranges it to make the melody more dramatic or happy or whatever.
I think it is fairly appropriate to say that music transcends all nations, races, religions, genders and sexual preferences. Samuel Barbers Adagio for Strings is an incredibly beautiful peace of music, which allows us to reflect on the victims of any number of conflicts. Politics really bares no reference to this peace of music, and anyone should be able to listen to it and relate it to any people or event to which they feel it applies.
I'd like to talk about the song if I may seeming that this has been infected by political bitchslapping across the board rather than talking about the SONG!
I think the piece is fitting and highly emotional towards the subject at hand and you could see even the composer was feeling the auld lump in the throat in the latter stages and I also felt that.
It is not emotion personified...emotion personified would be if a person came across as pure emotion. Music cannot be anything 'personified' as it is not a PERSON. :)
But yes, I agree completely with the rest, and the idea you meant to communicate with the last sentence.
No, emotion personified would be to talk about Emotion as a person. Also, music can be personified if you are talking about Music as a person. However, he/she was still incorrect as he/she described music as emotion personified, when in fact he/she probably meant it was emotion musicalised, as the piece of music is not a person. Still, if this were not music but a human character intended to represent either Emotion or Music, it would be Emotion or Music personified.
the trouble is when the usa bombs other people they bomb you back. America hurt in 911, but its nothing compared to what is happpening now in the muslim world, From iraq, afganistan and now pakistan the US/UK are bombing and kill muslims, ameirca quite right was angry at 911 but muslims were angry becaue of what you did. To take revenget begat revenge. All human life is speical, no one is superior to each other. If my daughter was killed i sure do not want another child kill in revengee for her.
But many people do not realize that the terrorists were welcomed here as immigrants. They studied and lived here for years, but eventually betrayed us.
9/11 is the day when America stopped trusting the rest of world.
The BBC Symphony Orchestra is a class act for performing this piece so beautifully and in honor of the 9/11 victims.
People died, families are still grieving. Hard times have come. We need to band together instead of squabbling over petty differences and half-remembered history.

Antaeus1991, you will burn in hell along with the rest of your people.
" He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work."
One thing people forget about 9/11 it wasn't just Americans that died that day, but more than 70 British Subjects also died in the Twin Towers. The attacks were not just on America, but on the whole Civilised world.
They forget because the truth is too monstrous to comprehend.
The idea that all the progress of centuries - technology, philosophy, education, culture, music, literature, art, industry - do not garantee our freedom from base savagry.
The blackened claws of primitive barbarism is reached out of the night to drag us back into the Dark Ages.
We either fight now or we submit to slavery later.
People would rather pretend it is in the past and move on.
Yes 11 British subjects died in the Twin Towers during 911... but nobody cared about them since American lives are worth a lot more than you limey Brits.
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers. 2. Highlight the Q33 NY. 3. Change the font size to 48. 4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS
A wonderful and truly moving piece of music which sums up perfectly the despair evident in the faces shown of the victims of 9/11.
Superimpose on the above all the faces of the countless victims of worldwide tragedies (both natural and man made) and it's hard to imagine how man can be be so cruel yet so compassionate, so creative and artistic yet so destructive!
Sadly, the irony evident in the beautiful music and terrible suffering depicted just about sums up the human race.

To noskcajulap: Why should Nimrod be played? Britain was not attacked on 911. It was the American homeland which was devastated.
I suppose Adagio for Strings is the American equivalent to Nimrod. Both very monumental classical pieces. However, both have very different moods and tones.
Barber's Adagio is more solemn, mournful, and one of bleakness. Elgar's Nimrod is more jovial, spritely, and warm.
Both tunes are powerful forces. But Adagio suited the mood of 911 more appropriately.
i beg to differ. people from 83 different countries were killed on 9/11. as far as im concerned the attack happened on u.s. soil but the entire world was attacked that day

This last night of the proms was awful!!! I know it was only a few days after 11/9 but surely by changing all of this handed the terrorists a victory. We should have started the second half with Nimrod and then got on with it as usual in a big two fingers to the terrorists, this would have been a far more british reponse!
...I bet you could hear an eyelash drop to the floor during the breaks...
Excellent rendition, the mood just makes it... haunting. Thank you for posting this.

@usmc957 - Firstly, do you think that unless we have an equal number of casualties our contribution is irrelevant?
Secondly, as we have a population a 5th the size of the US (& a military an 8th the size) we’ve actually lost a larger percentage of our citizens (& far larger of troops) to this war than the US.
Do you think American lives are worth more than those of people from other nations?

Here in the UK our MPs (Members of Parliament, equivalent to your ‘Representatives’) can put forward a “Vote of No Confidence” & depose the PM quite easily.

nakedBison69 2 years ago
While i think, and i'm one of the few that do, that President Bush was a great leader for your country and choose many a difficult disition in the years after 9/11 i feel that it would be wrong to lable him the greatest since Reagan, as Bush Snr and Clinton had mush more domestic input for your country that is of great benifit. Bush spent to much time with world issues. Not that that's wrong. And now with Obama his got to try to balance the domestic and internatonal stage.
hamdoesit007 2 years ago 2
If it is true that President Bush spent more time on foreign affairs than on domestic issues, it is because that is what was necessary and expected from our leaders. Our leaders are chosen primarily to protect us from physical harm, which President Bush did quite well in the aftermath of 9/11. Domestically, he cut taxes three times, resulting in the strongest economy in world history. Only when the Dummycrats took over, did America's economy fall
nakedBison69 2 years ago
I agree with you that he did quite well from protecting your nation from from physical harm after 9/11 and that domestically he perfrom well, if not better than other resent Presidents. But needless to say to aftermath of the two wars could have gone better, being British myself it could have gone better for us to. But it's not primarily for would leaders to protect us from harm, its just one the mandates that goes with the office and position, but it's very hard to police and predict! continued

I think it is fairly appropriate to say that music transcends all nations, races, religions, genders and sexual preferences. Samuel Barbers Adagio for Strings is an incredibly beautiful peace of music, which allows us to reflect on the victims of any number of conflicts. Politics really bares no reference to this peace of music, and anyone should be able to listen to it and relate it to any people or event to which they feel it applies.

No, emotion personified would be to talk about Emotion as a person. Also, music can be personified if you are talking about Music as a person. However, he/she was still incorrect as he/she described music as emotion personified, when in fact he/she probably meant it was emotion musicalised, as the piece of music is not a person. Still, if this were not music but a human character intended to represent either Emotion or Music, it would be Emotion or Music personified.

Superimpose on the above all the faces of the countless victims of worldwide tragedies (both natural and man made) and it's hard to imagine how man can be be so cruel yet so compassionate, so creative and artistic yet so destructive!

To noskcajulap: Why should Nimrod be played? Britain was not attacked on 911. It was the American homeland which was devastated.
I suppose Adagio for Strings is the American equivalent to Nimrod. Both very monumental classical pieces. However, both have very different moods and tones.
Barber's Adagio is more solemn, mournful, and one of bleakness. Elgar's Nimrod is more jovial, spritely, and warm.
Both tunes are powerful forces. But Adagio suited the mood of 911 more appropriately.
