An overlooked cover tune LXIII

A unique rendition of Michael Jackson's 1987 hit, "Smooth Criminal," caught my attention on SiriusXM this morning.  The duo's name, 2Cellos, tells you everything you need to know about its instrumentation.  The cellists respect the tune's melody and sense of urgency while making it sound impressively Classical.  If I'd never heard Jackson's original version, I might have thought that a 20th century composer had written a lively divertimento.
