Probably already posted but in all honesty I can't be arsed to go through 9 pages to check, but since it is from one of the classic films of the 80's if it is repeated, who cares.

Parts of this movement from Brahm's German Requiem were used as the theme tune to

'The Nazis - A Warning From History'

And, although it wasn't this specific rendition used, quite frankly, it isn't hard to see why they chose the music, specifically up until about 4.04, (although the rest is nice too), it is quite evil, yet beautiful sounding:

One for @rvw and Lithuania.


She did her undergrad dissertation on Ciurlionis, getting information from the future Head of State, Vytautis Landsbergis - who when he wasn't being a politician was a musicologist.

And for Poland another political connection....
