Live from the Royal Albert Hall , London. The eclectic musical roots of Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov are displayed in his Three Songs, performed by American soprano Dawn Upshaw , for whom they were written. Barber's First Essay for Orchestra has always suffered from being in the shadow of his famous Adagio, which was premiered in the same concert, while another famous Adagietto is at the heart of Mahler's searing symphony, which he dedicated to his beloved wife, Alma.
