Once every year in winter I sit and read Le Morte d'Arthur aloud a chapter at a time each night with Joschka the dachsound in my lap. I play a couple of Vaughn Williams short symphonies during my read each night in the background, but when I come to the end and Arthur's death, I play this. And Joschka takes on a very doleful countenance and lays his chin on my thigh. This is a very good recording, and Eugene Ormandy is the right conductor.

The ending is so awe-inspiring and moving I can hardly stand it. This is the song I want played at my funeral.

@2906Sarge If I ever get arrested I hope it's by you. KUSC (So. Cal. classical station) is always on in my car, too. :-) Mind you, I have no plans on doing anything that would result in my arrest. :-D
I am just an old beat cop! But I always keep my radio in my car tuned to a classical music station! We had a guy that we arrested one night that had to sit in my car for a long time in handcuffs! The doper was going crazy listening to this!....I love it! thanks for posting!

The orchestra I am in at my high school is playing this! I'm excited because I've only been playing cello for a year, so this is a challenge for me. Even more of a challenge is Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings! I can't wait! :D
