I've spent many working hours making versions of all sorts of music for performance by groups of musicians (often students) for whom the original was not intended.
So Jack Hylton's version of Rachmaninov posted by Pim Derks (+ thanks to otterhouse) on the Watch + Listen thread
http://r3ok.myforum365.com/index.php?topic=1053.msg135685#msg135685
has been a great delight.

It's been pointed out that this was not the only endeavour in this direction by the Jack Hylton Band - no recording unfortunately, but I thought some may be interested in the info.
