Bernstien on Sony.

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.

Hehe..no...I was looking for your favorite version os Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. Thanks so far for the recommendations, relevant or otherwise.

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