Fur Elise, my favorite piano piece, with an interesting history.
What is the meaning of Beethoven’s ‘Für Elise’ – and who was Elise?

Did you know that Barber's "Adagio for Strings" was played at the funeral of Grace Princess of Monaco, the former actress Grace Kelly? There I've heard it for the first time.

Giacomo Puccini: "Tu che di gel sei cinta" (You who are girded with ice) from "Turandot".
You've asked of unconditional love. The slave Liù has it. She chooses her death, that she can't tell her master's name.

I posted Adagio in G Minor - Albinoni last year. I went to listen to it again ( as I do several posts in this thread ) and found that it was disabled by owner. I found this one that has lovely images to view while listening.

I love Turandot. I saw it for the first time a couple of years ago, and it blew me away. I've been trying to learn more about opera.

Well then, here is the libretto in English:
Libretto from Turandot

And here is a version (with English subtitles) that meets Puccini's style more than the other versions since the 'Ice Princess' Turandot commits suicide in the end.
