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?

A few of my favorites.

Elgar's Cello Concerto would be similar in mood to Barber's Adagio and is every bit as good IMHO, well almost. You might also like Barbers Violin Concerto.

I would also vote for Sibelius' Sym #4. For something a little different try Death and Transfiguration by Strauss. It is elevating and beautiful.
