This is by Tomaso Albinoni for those interested. Here's a more HIP (Historically Informed Performance) version:

saints be razed
there where once was a garden of emerald green and flowers never before seen was planted a statue a hatchet job of virtue to no one in particular nothing you would see in the news but at one time he she or it had helped an old lady to negotiate her wits across a raging river and so they just had to give her a monument to deliver a reckoning to some king of kings who repeatedly would sing: mine eyes have seen the glory in the charity you bring.
now we are in the dark ages cages of glitterati and spite rulers lost in fights professing to know everything aligned with right as the human heart is blinded by a self righteousness tooled by fright.
many are those left frozen never knowing their hearts are the only light!

Adagio in D Minor. It appears a lot in film trailers nowadays.

The version the OP posted is of a more modern style performance rather than HIP. See here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historically_informed_performance It's not about how "familiar" you find it as modern style performance is more common in general (especially in film/tv).

No, I was familiar with the Albinoni original, so the more modern version naturally sounded 'familiar'.

I'll see your adagio and raise you a bolero.

Yeah, the one I shared was the theme song for The Assassination of Gianni Versace, which was the second season of the TV show American Crime Story.

That's one work I'll be delighted to never hear again, and I love Ravel (he didn't like it much either).

Do you know why Maurice Ravel did not like his composition?

Do you know why Maurice Ravel did not like his composition? Because for him it was just an experiment. He wanted to see if he could create a composition without development, where the only change was in volume and orchestration. Here's what he said of it: Shostakovich actually wrote something quite similar into the first movement of his 7th Symphony: (The Bolero-like part starts at about 6:00) Anyway, Ravel was a marvelous composer that wrote so much other music that's a million times better than Bolero. Here are just two favorites: (the orchestral/choral colors of the opening is among the most spellbinding things I've ever heard; this remains my absolute favorite ballet ever written) (First movement is Ravel inspired by Gershwin and American jazz; second is among the most beautiful movements in all of classical music; third is just an explosion of kinetic energy)

I never cared much for Daphnis & Chloe after listening it for the third time -- too slow and repetitive for my taste. I'd rather listen to Bolero!

waltzing at the wake of yet another wanton mistake
molding open democracies isn't what anyone might refer to as a cool summer breeze but it you think circumventing the issue of mental illness is as easy as just saying pretty please then you better take a much deeper look into the water level just now rising above your copper plated knees.
