If any piece deserves the label 'modern classic', it's this. Henryk Gorecki: Symphony of Sorrowful Songs No, for this Bach we recommend some dark clothing, a stiff drink and possibly some more gentle sobbing. With a title like that, it's unlikely that you'll be skipping down the street with this pumping from your bluetooth. It's a staple here at Classic FM, but to do justice to Albinoni's Adagio you really do have to put your headphones in, imagine life in sepia and feel a full Baroque embrace. You might also know it from how it makes you want to curl up on the kitchen floor and sob into a dishcloth. You might know this one from some of the key scenes in Oliver Stone's less-than-cheery Vietnam epic Platoon.
