Apocalyptica, possibly better known for their classical covers of metal tracks (see below for the second video – cover of a Metallica track), also have a fine line in pieces of their own – Farewell being a damned fine example of their work.

There is something about the cello sound that just works, both in their own work and their covers – I suppose its the power and sadness of the cello sound.

These guys are still on my must see list!
