What happend to him?

RIP

Rachel Smart man im sorry for brother

Rachel Smart listen to original barber BBC orchestra or Detroit orchestra wow

RIP- your bro had taste......

Never get old… keep listening 💖

Old? Naw..I've been listening Samuel.Barber's "Adagio for Strings (1936) all.my life. You never get old. Nor does this music

much like you this was the track that introduced me to trance music. I remember there was a Sky channel called classical or similar and this fantastic tune kept coming on. Eventually I found its the shortened version of Ferry Corstens 1999 classic. It's worth hunting out trance music back to 1999 (the year of trance), and it would be remiss of me not to recommend my favourites channel here which is filled with anthemic trance.! Enjoy & Good Luck !

spot on man this soundtrack makes my whole body electric unbelievable rush of blood that is keeping the body hairs standing on end wow!!!!!

Ri Ri same goes here.

I’m 17 and same

80 years in fact - the original tune by S.Barber (now 84 yrs)

The work is the slow movement, "Adagio" in Italian, from American Composer Samuel Barber's String Quartet No. 2. (1936). Even in an altered form, this work being admired by you younger peeps, makes me smile. Barber scored the work for a.full.body of Strings including Basses. If you like synthesized works, check out William Orbit's complete reading. Your comment was awesome.

armin still good but yes the rest making crap

you can say that again i was in my prime in late 1998-2000s its was awesome many great nights of crazyness

Commander Z Aurora Borealis "The Milky Way" awesome Hardtrance

Just Magical

This isn’t really William Orbits version, this is Ferry Corstens remix, William Orbits version wasn’t even dance music.

As a Symphony musician, I back up your facts. The even and equality of tones in Orbit's synthesized full version is a!axing to hear. Barber rather detested the fame of his "Adagio". Toscannini described Barber's work as " Bella" Semplice"...Beautiful and simple.

Next year later still listen to this song this is pure gold amazing

+Mike August agreed

mine too!

Scott Dale i think the same way with you about funeral song

platoon used this for sheens monologue theme :)

+Theresa Freeman yes very true its the best trance song ever created

i agree. i was listening it before going to late training sessions (when i was on low power mode) this song would make me emotional, yet calm and determined. it's a true masterpiece.

Theresa Freeman Another good one is ppk resurrection

no lol

Agreed 100%. Tiesto is monetizing whatever he can unfortunately.

@marcos.........It's all subjective, personally for me this version is miles better. Probably because I was around in the club's when it come out and it has some nostalgia.

Tiesto's version is a disgrace for this great song.

@@BlitzedIT I don't think in this case it is that subjective, this version is musically superior, the build up, the drop, the flow. To like the tiesto version more is to be the kind of person who goes to ibiza to be seen and not for the music

happy new years!!

First heard at BYO Donnigton Warehouse 1992 and still brings tears to my eyes Feb 2018

5th Feb 2018

Feb 2018 still going strong here too!! Some things just timeless!!

Music hearing, not watching, you dumbshit.

For me the first time was Classic FM.

lol this is a remix by ferry corsten

It's a remix of a remix :)

agree with you....

Agreed. I think that William Orbit makes this (rather very sad) song very powerful since he amplified the important parts. I miss that if I hear the Tiesto version, some parts get a bit lost in Tiesto's version. So I also think that William Orbit's version is much better.

byte2702 William Orbit did not compose this Track :P

I know. Barber did, therefore it's called Barber's Adagio For Strings. Btw, have I somewhere mentioned that Orbit has composed it? I just said that he made this sad song powerful. Have I passed the IQ test now? :P

byte2702 this is by far the best version

I commented here 5 years ago. Lol. 2020 now!!!

2020 almost there

I newer Fort Gate the best track

Слушая это я улетаю

lol XDD and everyone will take extasy ,,funeral trance party Andy Ring " XDDDDDDDDDD

***** Yes.

***** The original is from William Orbit yes, but this is the remix from Ferry Corsten.

***** Go search for William Orbit - Barbers Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corsten Remix) on youtube and see what you find, it might shock you. Besides, this is a trance tune, William Orbit doesnt produce trance and this song has all of Ferry's trademark sounds.

this is the ferry corstern remix which was the radio edit to allow for commercialisation... love both of them

...a civilisation without chainsaws maybe 😝

+Jack Mooney in Perth, Western Australia there was a tree that had been there a couple of hundred years and was only recently cut down because the bloody Perth council caved under the pressure from developers....they are now building high class apartments there AND on the water front, and the new-ish bell tower they built that kinda looks like a bug is going to have its view of the swan river completely blocked by said buildings :/ i know this because i live not far from the city and was royally pissed off! first they stop the land where the tree was from being used for big events and then they cave say "yeah you can build there and cut the tree down!". im pretty sure that tree had been there since the foundation of the city, maybe a bit longer? but the council always said that land where the tree resided was off limits to developers!

That sucks man! I'm actually from Perth, Western Australia, so I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah, it totally sucks that they have to cut down the trees that produce the oxygen we breathe in order to make man made buildings and structures. But you wouldn't be living in the house you are today if they hadn't. I just think, if they need to cut down one tree, they should plant two more.

Jack Mooney that it is, i remember seeing the massive tree for the first time when me and my family had a holiday in Perth....we drove the 500 or so kms from Geraldton and was awe struck as that was the largest tree i'd ever seen and touched! i was sad to see them cut it down...at least i got to touch it one last time before they erected the fencing around it and cut it down. and your right that they should plant a couple of trees to replace it!

+mousehead2000 Sadly i think the message is that nature became a memory, a painting. It stop existing.

Aye

Ps drunk

its trance not techno its a trance remix of some old classical music :)

true true .. ;)

"Tiesto copy"? If that's not an ignorant and biased opinion, I don't know what it is.

Excuse me, copied what

La Pa The song... he didn't wrote it himself.. therefore he copied it..

***** heh i guesss that he wanted to say version instead of copy - but U know, imho copy means version as well :) so don't blame him that he use word "copy" :).. anyway Orbit version was earlier and made a very huge mess in my head when it was released. Tiesto version nowdays is one of milion other trance songs.. but when Orbit version was released it was like a miracle casue trance was not so popular and it made a lot of people to interests in trance music ... :P look at this at this point of view ..... / but u know it's only my humble opinion :)

Yeah... Very sad scene

+Lao Sao Tiesto fans

+Al Pinion why are they Tiesto fans? They probably never heard of it until Tiesto mixed it

+JOHNNYCFC24 Because the likes are Ferry Corsten fans ;)

+Richard Sykes couldn't agree more.

hahahahhahaha

Sorry , who is understood about what you are...? in 2018... )))

+TheDiRuSh me

Yeah, i remember this scene

TheCrazies73 wtf i don't know about this until now, though tiesto was original author

He isn't, and neither is William Orbit, Samuel Barber is the original.

Both are good in different way .love both of them

Tiesto’s is more of a remix, whereas this is just the original Barber segment mixed the same way with a beat.

This is the remix by Ferry Corsten.
