If you're a Sting fan, take a listen to this. Many re-recorded songs ("Desert Rose" is quite different).

@George-K interesting!
I found this excerpt on YT:
Link to videoIt's interesting to compare it with the Liszt transcription:
Link to videoI think I prefer the Liszt variant slightly. Overall, I must say, though, that, at least in the finale of the 9th, they fail to convince me relative to the orchestral version.

Gives me a new appreciation for all thing things that are going on.
And how freakishly difficult it must be to play. All. Those. Octaves.

Speaking of transcriptions...
As I mentioned, I'm reading "2312," and in it there's a description of a concert in which one of the pieces performed was a four-hand version of the Beethoven Grosse Fuge. They even mentioned the opus number: 134.
I had no idea this thing existed, but, there you have it. Beethoven himself transcribed it for four hands:
Link to videoOh, and speaking of speaking of transcriptions, my first encounter with Peter Serkin was a recording I purchased in 1972 (?) of him playing Beethoven's Op. 61(a) - the piano version of the violin concerto.

Since we're doing piano, I recently rediscovered this album on Amazon music - it accompanies my dog walks. I just love this guy's playing.

Thanks for that. I just added it to my library. He's got quite the discography!
This is a bit more than half...

Early Bud Powell is amazing. As he got older, it was less good - he suffered a lot from mental illness, back when the treatment was rather unsophisticated. A very sad life - he died in 1966 at the age of 41 from a combination of TB and alcoholism.

Wow.
Link to videoIf you didn't know it was Joni Mitchell, you'd never guess.
I always preferred her version to the saccharine Judy Collins version. I also prefer this recording to Collins'.
