It's "Adagio for Strings, Op.11" by Samuel Barber, composed in 1936
when he was just 25 years old.
Interesting story: most people think the piece sounds very sad, and it
was often used as a dirge to remember soldiers killed in battle. In
fact, it was used for some of the dramatic moments in the film
"Platoon", which is probably why it was used in that Seinfeld flashback
to the Korean War. But interestingly enough, Barber actually wrote it as
a description of hot sex. Weird but true!

William Orbit did an updated dance version of it on his record. Not bad
but not a patch on the original.
