Earlier, I posted a link to a recent biopic about the 18th century Czech composer Josef Mysliveček, on the occasion of this, his birthday anniversary. It also happens to be the birthday of the great American composer Samuel Barber (he of “Adagio for Strings” fame). While I’m on the topic of recommended viewing, I thought I would share a reminder about H. Paul Moon’s award-winning documentary, Samuel Barber: Absolute Beauty. The film aired nationally on PBS back in 2017 and is now available for streaming on demand on Vimeo and elsewhere.
You’ll find a trailer at the link:
In case you missed my earlier post on “The Bohemian”

Who knows, you might find these offerings would make for quite the Sunday double-feature!
