I'm not really one for "classical" music as such. However, I heard this piece of music a couple of years ago, yet failed to discover it's name. Since then, I've been painstakingly attempting to find out it's name.
I never did.
Until now.
It was on the radio of a taxi I was in last night, and the driver said to me "Good piece of music that is", or something generally along those lines.
I took my chance. I swooped in with the line of questioning in a vain attempt that this, what seemed to be, a simple man, unknown to te world of classical music, knew the title of the song.
He did.
Woo.

Adagio for Strings is probably the only piece of classical music that I particularly like.
It's a wonderful spiraling piece of sombre music, that is heart felt throughout.
Most of you aren't classical music fans, or at least I would think not.
But try this piece of music, and just listen to it.
KaZaA isn't a good choice, considering the fact you'll get the shortened, techno/danced up version, that has basically murdered this great piece of music.
It's around 9 mins long - as a lot of stringed pieces of music are.
There's no words involved, only strings.
And it's great.

best bit of classical music ever, just buy platoon! used as the whole sound track basically and a top film, i love the classical version but the dance version ids top stuff too.
everyone knows the title adagio for strings, it was released as a dance track not so long ago, and it was the theme tune of platoon.
a beautiful gut wrenching lament.
also a banging dance tune.
great
