And played on (maybe modern versions of) medieval instruments!
I think classic pieces like this always beneit from being played in their original context: the full opera.
This is especially true in one of my all-time favorites Bizet's Pearl Fishers Duet.
Admittedly given extra emotional resonance by the famous vocalists.
The original instruments make a piece of music sound very different. I had a concert of Beethoven's Ninth played on period instruments and it lacked the kind of power you'd expect from today's orchestra. No wonder Beethoven had to hammer down on the keys to get the right sound from an early piano.
Watched this guy perform at the Proms last night and was amazed at the dexterity in his...toes.

How wrong I was, he's obviously a very accomplished player.
They're having a top 100 for movie themes and just played this charming piece of music...
Haven't seen Chocolat for yonks, and it's well worth a watch if you haven't had the pleasure.

Sky used it as theme music to a series of stories on the world's great footballers, prior to the 2010 World Cup.
When deciding which music could represent the pinnacle of human spirit and intelligence, [to go on board the Voyager space probes] Johann Sebastian Bach was inevitably suggested but – according to an unverified but irresistible anecdote – there was some dissent, because presenting music of such beauty and intelligence to any extraterrestrial listener would be ‘just showing off’.

4 Guitarists Stun Audience Playing Billie Jean Using One Guitar
Have you ever seen four men playing a single guitar at the same time? No? Then you need to watch the Barcelona Guitar Trio’s performance of Billie Jean. It was filmed during their Tribute to Paco…

There's a guitar version of 'Here Comes the Sun' that you forget before he's even finished, and CFM persist in playing it, so someone must like it.
This music makes makes me shiver...
On the very eve of his death, Mozart had the score of the Requiem brought to his bed, and himself sang the alto part; Schack, the family friend, sang the soprano line, as he had always previously done, Hofer, Mozart's brother-in-law, took the tenor, Gerl, later a bass singer at the Mannheim Theater. They were at the first bars of the Lacrimosa when Mozart began to weep bitterly, laid the score on one side, and eleven hours later, at one o'clock in the morning of December 5th, 1791, departed this life.
