- Barber's original is a powerful and emotional classical piece from 1936.
- William Orbit "synthesized" Barber's version in 1995 which finally got released in 1999 and his version is stylewise a bit similar but sounds more synthetic.
- Ferry Corsten & ATB remixed William Orbit's remake in 1999.
- Minimalistix did their remake in 2002.
- Mat Silver & Tony Burt did their version in 2004.
- Tiësto did his remake earlier this year with remixes by Phynn, Danjo & Styles and Fred Baker.

There are loads of other versions, remixes and remakes.. check discogs for the rest of them.

Also, there's a choral version to the text of the Agnus Dei

If I'm not wrong Tiesto made his version in 2003 but it took a good while until it was released.

Might be, that happens with most tracks nowadays. They are made at point x but get released possibly much much later. I don't care enough to worry about my "mistake" tho. :stongue:

these are a few i found on the net (just info anyways)

1. Barber's Adagio for Strings [Ferry Corsten Remix Radio Edit]
2. Barber's Adagio for Strings [ATB Airplay Mix]
3. Barber's Adagio for Strings [Excerpt from Original Version]
4. Barber's Adagio for Strings [Ferry Corsten Remix]
5. Barber's Adagio for Strings [ATB Version]

but dont understand "except from original version" on #3

i'd really like to hear the orginal version!
cause trance usually have the constant drums which kinda ruins the song when its such a good melody ;o maybe i shud just stay to classical :d

dont you guys think so too at times..?

Read more carefully, it says exceRpt from original version which means it's basically an edit of William Orbit's version. ;)
