I can imagine - though there are very few modern interpretation of 
classical pieces that do the trick for me - it's just too hard to beat 
the dynamics and depth of a real orchestra. Notable exception: William 
Orbit's "Adagio for Strings" (the up-beat version, not the one on 
"pieces in a modern style"), he somehow hit the sweet spot for my taste.

(This is the one I'm talking about:

the sound is cr*p in the usual youtube fashion)
