I was told in a pre-performance discussion that Mozart seemed to enjoy composing exceptionally challenging arias for his female singers:

Across the Universe is a movie that is all covers of Beatles songs. It is amazing and i suggest everyone see the movie and listen to the soundtrack.

One of my favorite re-makes is the version of "Wooly Bully" done by Michael Doucet and Cajun Brew. I danced all over the house the first time I heard it. And I swear, somewhere in all my records and tapes is a version of Bob Seger's "Someday, Lady, You'll Accompany Me" done in French by Kate and Anna McGarrigle!

This version of "So Deep is the Night" (based on Chopin's Piano Etude in E Major Op.10, No. 3.) has been playing a lot recently on Classic Arts Showcase. Stops me in my tracks every time:
