Adagio for strings.

Its the German version sang by Chrisitina England Hale.But Pavarotti's Latin version is the best!

I prefer Ms England's version.

Although Pavarotti is the grand master and a powerhouse, a delicate touch suits it better IMO.

I think this version is of the Vienna boys choir.

This is Ms England's version:

One of the most famous Russian Waltzes
Dmitri Shostakovich - Waltz No. 2. Its history is full of uncertainties. It was written in 1938. Then Wikipedia declares that
¨The score was lost during World War II, but a piano score of the work was rediscovered in 1999 by Manashir Yakubov.¨" But facts contradict this assertion. In 1955 this waltz sounded in the Soviet film ¨The First Echelon¨ at 1.27.33. from the beginning.
(can be found at youtube: /watch?v=tKlS2Ez2UqY)
Next time it was used in Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.
Here is a clip with Sophie Marceau.

The flower duet! First heard this while playing Killzone 2 on PS3 a long while back.

One of the most menacing and sinister pieces of music I've ever heard. That saxophone is pure evil. Facades, by Philip Glass.
