As previously promised, here are a couple samples of the Baroque-style covers of Beatles songs - "Eleanor Rigby" (of course) and "Penny Lane" (another favorite of mine). Enjoy!

Audio: Share a great instrumental song or album.

Beatles Baroque

Les Boréades

Ok, so I don't actually have the CD with me to share any of the songs but I was able to find the album on Amazon.com. Anyway, these are Beatles songs as covered by a French-Canadian baroque string quartet. The only time they sing is at the very end of "Lucy In The Sky". They're very interesting covers and I wish I could find some actual songs to share. For now though, you can listen to clips on Amazon.com.

Edit 10:10 AM: It turns out I did have a copy of the CD (hidden away in a box in my closet). When I get back from classes I'll upload a couple songs for your listening pleasure.
