Barber's Adagio for Strings


Does anyone have any recommendations for well recorded versions of Adagio for Strings?

I second what Sugarbrie said above. The Emerson is a fine rendition of it in its oirignal quartet form.
In addition to the Toscanini mentioned above, consider the St. Louis/Slatkin recording. When they toured Asia a few years back, the Adagio movement was such a hit that they got bugged to play it on every concert. Hence, they know it cold. It's also well recorded.
