My apologies. I wasn't aware of that tune/song or the singer nor had I seen
the film (must get out more) and the Largo is often played at many funerals.
I had (foolishly) thought that Mary Fahl had recorded a version of it.
In the UK, the Largo is quite well known from being the music from a very
popular  bread (Hovis) advert and is always referred to as "going home" and
rarely mentioning the symphony or composer . I have actually played bits of
it on the HG when sandwiches were around as a bit of fun.
Sorry for the mix-up.
Colin
