John Adams: On the Transmigration of Souls

If you were touched by 9/11, you should listen to this. If you can get past the difficultly of the music, you'll be rewarded with the difficulty of remembering that day and the days that followed.

(Be warned that John Adams can be a tough listen, even for fans of this genre of music. On a bright note, you'll impress people at swanky parties when you start discussing Adams' relative strengths and weaknesses, and you might even pick up that hottie from Peabody who's sipping champagne on the other side of the room.)
