In Memory of All the Victims of September 11, 2001



London's Proms season for 2001 finished as it usually does in September. But that year there was a very different mood following the 9/11 terrorist strikes in New York and Washington, D.C. This performance, dedicated to all those who died, is Samuel Barber's evocative Adagio for Strings, performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and presided over by the American conductor, Leonard Slatkin.
