Does anybody know what the music was during the episode where Frank Costanza had the disaster as the military cook and then later at Kramer's singles dinner? Just wondering.

The piece is called Adagio Cantable. It may be the same music that played during the sceen from Platoon which that sceen takes off of.

In article ,

The piece is more frequently known as "Adagio for Strings", and it's by Samuel Barber, an American composer. The piece is an arrangement (for string orchestra) of part of a movement of a Barber string quartet. There are loads of recordings of the piece -- the most frequently recommended one is conducted by Leonard Bernstein on the Deutsche Grammophone label. And yes, it was the music used in PLATOON.

Sorry for re-answering a question that was answered as recently as two weeks ago.

Hi:

This has nothing to do with Seinfeld.

Have you ever saw the commercial for the Volkswagon (not sure which car, it starts with a "P", like the passat or someting?)

What music plays the in the background?

It sounds like Julianna Hatfield, but not positive? What song is it?
