Everybody knows Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings.” But how much do we really know about the composer and the man? Join me this afternoon for a conversation with filmmaker H. Paul Moon, who will be joining me in the studio to talk about his new documentary, “Samuel Barber: Absolute Beauty”, which will air locally on WHYY Philadelphia tomorrow night (Saturday) at 8 p.m.

Barber, born in West Chester, PA, and a graduate of Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music, is something of a native son. He must be ranked in the top five of all American composers, but of those, his music must be the most deeply personal. I hope you’ll join me for a conversation with H. Paul Moon this afternoon at 4:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
