Steve Gardham asked about the harp rendition of "Jesu" that my wife plays over and over again. The album is called In Perfect Peace, harp music arranged and performed by Michelle Boykin. It's a very nice collection of familiar hymns, available for $15 from www.drnedley.com. I think Michelle is connected somehow with the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

Don Firth mentioned an LP titled Parkening Plays Bach, which Amazon says is available as LP. I listened to another Parkening guitar recording of "Jesu" on a 2006 album titled Grace Like a River, and it's terrific - as are the other pieces on the album.

Any other remarkable instrumental recordings of "Jesu"?
