Hey guys.

I was watching a movie last night and this orchestral piece turned up which I thought was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

It was Adiago for String in D minor by Samuel Barber. I heard it in a movie called S1m0ne (which is worth a watch) and I also believe its the main theme from Platoon.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend me some orchestral music along the same lines. Its really some breath taking music.

Thanks
Asim

There is a piece of music called 'Agnus Dei' which is set to the music of Barbers Adagio.The best version i have heard is sung by 'The choir of Trinity College,Cambridge'.They have really amazing voices and its a very haunting piece.You can listen to a small piece of it below, but you really need to listen to the whole song to fully appreciate it.
