haunting/dark classical


new to classical, I really like Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, Op 11. I am looking for other music with the same dark/haunting sound. Suggestions?

richard strauss' "four last songs" (esp. w/Jessye Norman! or Elizabeth Schwartzkopf).
Your wanting something "haunting/dark classical" is met completely with the following cd: Gidon Kremer, Hommage a Pizaaolla, Nonesuch 79407-2. For others also reading this thread and after listening to this cd, kindly comment and I believe you will find it as a great discovery, and while some might say it does not fit into the classical genre, I believe you will have a changed mind after listening. When I discovered the cd, I immediately attached the label of haunting to it.

I never would have suggested Chopin to someone looking for haunting and dark melodies. But as a classical pianist who plays a fair amount of Chopin; I agree with you. This is especially true of his minor scale Nocturnes. My first thoughts turned to contemporary composers.

Myraj didn't mean Chopin, it was Chop in, as in Chop in half with a chain saw, now that is dark and haunting!
