OK, clearly no one got this and the YouTube supplied embed tag failed as there is no ‘preview’ function here and I had to wait for comment moderation so I had no way of checking. Here’s the link:

This list changes over time of course, but off the top of my head I would list:

Yo-yo Ma and Allison Krauss – Simple Gifts
T. V. Carpio (from Across the Universe) – I want to hold your hand
Holly Cole – I can see clearly now
H. Robert Reynolds wind arrangement of Morten Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium
Eric Whitacre – October

(purposely left out songs from musicals)

Here's Donald O'Connor and Mitzi Gaynor with De-Lovely from Anything Goes. [My goodness that's a narrow waist!]

With the Couperin I would add that it can also be played 20 times or more in a row without irritation or loss of interest. I love that piece!

I would add Cole Porter’s “De-Lovely”.
