Adagio for Strings

This piece has a very special meaning to me and my life. This morning, September 2001, just on the way to visit the WTC as a tourist, suddenly the subway stopped at Time Square, and after getting out there we saw the towers collapsing on the screens... So somehow this day has become my 'second birthday'. This piece will unforgettable be connected to my memories of these days in NYC, all the victims and also the wonderful people I've met there.
This recording may reflect this special and very complex experience - from pp to the (screaming) fff of the organ and back to a silence - different than before...
