  • Steber versus Price, piano versus orchestra...Can't make a choice they're both so special. Think I'll just cherish both versions.

  • her vanessa is breathtaking!

  • ending notes are beautiful!

  • when you think of Agee's tragic life: I can see that backyard, slanting upwards, under the trees, under the stars -- it has planted a place in my heart.

  • A magnificent artist and singer. She will live forever in our hearts. A very special person.

  • Did I miss it somewhere? Does anyone know who the pianist is? Definitely written for orchestra. The "reduction" was done by Samuel Barber, who was an exceptional pianist.

  • No, it was originally written for orchestra. It was essentially commissioned by Steber to sing with the Boston Symphony. Later, a piano setting as well as a setting for small chamber orchestra (of about 10) were done.

  • The piece was written for piano and later orchestrated, according to what I've read. I rather like this version.

  • superb. Although the piece necessarily suffers greatly in a piano reduction, sadly this pianist is better than the dreadful pickup orchestra which did the first recording with Steber.
