William Orbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings (Original Version)

[Rhaevyn]

One of the most moving pieces of music I've ever listened to in my life. It's so ethereal, emotionally rich and haunting. Will never tire of this.

If you do not tear up listening to this piece, then you are not

[angelamccormack]

Barbers Adagio for strings is my ultimate classical piece William does it justice!

I first heard this tune on the movie Platoon back in the 80s and loved it ever since

Whenever possible we listen to this in the summer with a drink as we watch the sun going down. Great for reflecting on the day - and life.

[heartache]

it's full of darkness but eventually you see through it and then the warm moments are the ones that resonate the most

[jttherd]

This is probably one of the best songs of all time

[leemorson]

This tune actually feels like it’s apart of you, slowly running through your veins touching every nerve end and then gradually it releases through every pore in your body . Genius

[jroskott]

I can listen to this all day long. The morning with Orbit's, the afternoon with the Bernstein conducted version and at night Tiesto's....

[mrprice]

There are no words to describe this song. Just a pure work of art, you have to close your eyes and listen to understand fully

My friends that laughed and played together MISS YOU. xxxx

I have the vinyl of this. This masterpiece on one side, and on the other the trance genius of Ferry Corsten with his remix. 1999, what a time to be alive.

The 90s will always be the greatest era for dance music 😎👌

[randyandy]

One of, if not the best classical tune ever mixed into trance. The most beautiful haunting melody, incaptulated absolutely perfectly in the heartbreaking iconic scene of one of the best ever Vietnam war films. So grateful for both.

[Commonsensestillexists]

One of the best electronic/classical mixes of all time. I love it as much today as the first time I heard it.

[MOLEYISAJEDI]

Goosebumps😊❤. Heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. Timeless

First heard the original classical piece years ago when saw the movie the Elephant Man, which is heart wrenching in itself, and then have appreciated learning about its origins and other movies that have also adopted this music.

[stevegrimmer]

The high notes around 6 min 40 make the hairs on my neck stand up. Truly mesmerising.

[kevincoyle]

One of my favorite pieces of all music ever. Can listen to it over and over again. I can escape reality for a little while.

[vikkihudson]

classic tune, one of my favourites ever, never get tired of listening to this
