For me, this is probably the most powerful piece of music ever written. Watch this performance and the expressions on the conductor Leonard Slatkin's face. Word has it, he walked off the stage and broke down. I wouldn't have made it past a few minutes.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV3SHBFyDZM |

This song was actually used at funerals for important figures in the USSR. Kinda odd, seeing as how it's written by an American. |

And when it's set to a piece of film such as this, it becomes even more touching to the soul. If this scene doesn't move you, you're dead... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GajDw...eature=related |

After it was done he just said very quietly, "Beautiful...." and went back to the other room. I couldn't really speak- it was very moving.

Not a very good quality recording, but an amazing composition, every movement of it.
