When I was a college student, I watched this movie (Platoon) in Shibuya, Tokyo after a banquet one day. I was very drunk, but when I started watching this work, I was immediately drawn to it. I didn't have time to feel drowsy until the end of the work. It's a good memory of my school days. I still have the feelings of those days.😷
Just describing this piece "beautiful" seems insufficient. The melody holds a hauntingly heart-wrenching yet tranquil quality, almost like discovering solace amidst utter darkness. This is never getting old.
This music impact's the entire humanity not only in our galaxy, but the entire universe. Each note serves in the awakening of our consciousnesses. It is like the whole creation is crying to be liberated from million years of imprisonment.
This song makes you go through all the stages of grief.

In about 1969 my sister, a young cellist, came back from a Summer at the Music Academy of the West and she had played the Adagio while there. She immediately bought the LP with Ormandy & the. Philadelphians and it became an overnight hit in the family and a favorite ever since. It is undoubtedly one of the most gorgeous pieces for strings of the 20th Century. Toscanini was the first to play the orchestral version with the NBC Symphony back in the '40's and allegedly took it on tour to South America where he used it as an encore for concerts presented in Argentina. Sir Simon's direction with the unparalleled BPO is a wonderful video souvenir of what has become, for me, a "desert island" piece of music.
Sir Simon Rattle is certainly one of the top conductors in the world today. He always manages to get the best out the orchestras he conducts, especially at this performance.

I know there are tears in it. But, when I hear it I hear the glorious love of my beloved husband. I almost cannot stand it, as he is gone now. Still, it is the beauty of him that I hear most. The beauty of us.

So many people describing this music as "sad". I dunno....it seems so much more than that. It encompasses so many human emotions. I feel that 'contemplative' or 'introspective' are more fitting than 'sad'. While futility is present in the melody, hope and majesty are subtly intertwined in a profoundly realistic manner. Something about this piece strikes a chord with the soul of humankind and/or all biological life. It remains one of my favorite classical pieces...though ironically, I'm a percussionist.

This wondrous Adagio has the ability to transport the listener to rapturous heights, and yet can fully express the most profound grief.
The presence of the Viola and how it grows in this composition simply makes me breathless, it's a very deep emotional instrument. But no doubt the other stringed instruments are not far behind.
