....only a section from the third movement (the Adagio) was used. If they start the piece from the beginning, I suspect that most 'philes would be hard-pressed to identify it correctly.
Than again, there are Bartok fans (like myself) who have five different versions of it.
Karajan was the conductor for the version used in Kubrick's film, with the recording being from 1949, as I recall.
Many folks like the Reiner version, especially for sonics.
However, this is March, not October and Halloween. Scary, weird music might not be exactly what the party boys had in mind........
(Oh, and my vote goes to JA's "White Rabbit". A real 60's counter-culture classic. But there are countless other great choices, as evidenced by the cool suggestions from so many inmates. Tough call.)
