Today I want to share with you an unbelievable piece: “Adagio,” from the ballet Spartacus, by Russian-Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian. Many of you, especially those who have kids, will know this piece from Ice Age 2.

This was also used as the theme from “The Hudsucker Proxy”. This is already in my “Saturday Morning” mix, although I use a version with the piano playing the main melodic line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJJmF5qqQyE
timeless tragedy of love and loss… Thank you so much for sharing
.. and for those with older kids (maybe in their 20s), this was also the theme from an excellent English series called “The Onedin Line”.
Love the painting as well!!
The first piece was apparently a bootleg copy with terrible video and sound quality. The second piece showcased a static shot of a conductor making a spectacle of himself. May I suggest –
