Yesterday I linked a rendition of "Scarborough Fair" and said the musicians, not the singer, capture the emotion.

Given our discussion of classical music I began to wonder if there is a better rendition. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra did record it; they were too chipper playing the tragic song.

I listened to piano and violin solos and I wonder if any of them knows the song's history. It was written after a plague had swept through England.
