Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings, op.11. Uncut

the most heartwrenching string piece ever written. This makes me FEEL so much.

they sell a CD with different insrament variations, if you think this is emotional, go buy the CD and listen to the Pipe organ play it!

this piece also makes me cry, its really emotional, but its amazing

epic

I absolutely love this piece, but it always makes me cry like a baby, no matter how many times I hear it.
I think that hearing it for the first time whilst watching 'Lorenzo's Oil' didn't help.
I saw Nanci Griffith at the Royal Albert Hall a few years ago and she was accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra, they played this during the show and I don't think there was a dry eye in the venue by the end...the power of music is quite astonishing sometimes.
Maybe I just need some HRT... : )

puuure classic. (: love thistune so much emotion put into itt!

absolute genius!

this is amazing. The way the instuments fit together. Just beautiful.

holy shit.


Sorry, but. Fucking wow.

This is absolutely beautiful; I had never heard of Samuel Barber before but we are singing his "Sure on this Shining Night" in regional choir and the director suggested listening to this piece; it is so beautiful it gives me chills and goosebumps.
