Still like Kronos Quartet on "Winter Was Hard."

BTW, there's an all-Adagio CD claiming to have all versions (it doesn't) that's interesting now and then or mixed in a CD changer.

Tyson,
this is the version you're talking about??

Oh, you want to know our favorite piece of music, not the "best" version of the Adagio for strings?

Mine, Brahm's Piano Concerto #1 & #2.  Performed by Gilels, conducted by Jochum.

2nd Tonto's vote. If the Kronos version for String Quartet doesn't move you, not much else will...
