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?

Dark and haunting are not terms I would use to describe the Barber piece, which is one of the most-mentioned pieces in the thread "Most achingly beautiful music." Lwatson, can you expand on your meaning?
