Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor was a favourite of Jim Morrison's so the band recorded a version at TTG Studio in 1968 as a treat for him.
The Doors - Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor
"This was one of Jim Morrison's favourite pieces of music. He loved the melancholy mood of this almost mystical classic.
We played it with La Cienaga Symphony Strings put together by Bruce Botnick's father for this unique over dub"
Ray Manzarek.
When you consider Bruce Harris once asked Jim Morrison what was his favourite pop tune and Jim after a little thought said 'do you know the score to Fellini's 8 1/2? I quite like that.' it's no surprise that The Doors did this.
They were a band that was interested in an eclectic body of music which is apparent in every album they did.
Frankly there has never been a band ever like these guys and this version is quite breathtaking.
Ray eventually went one further with his brilliant version of Carmina Burana. What a band
