Comments:

Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, the first song in this playlist, is written to reflect Barber's relationship with his father. Growing up, Barber was gay and was for the rest of his life, but his father didn't approve, which led to abuse. Later in life, Barber decided to mend things with his father, but his father passed before he could truly say he mended things. He never got to resolve things with his father, which is why the song never resolves.
The playlist cuts the ending out, but please, listen to it. I recommend the choir version. The thumbnail is the sheet music, look up "Barber's Adagio choir satb" and it should pop up. It's truly an amazing piece of art.

Nice selection, but I was hoping that this includes Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto in G Major, the adagio assai. But still, enjoyed this Adagio playlist
