As the world mourns the passing of rock guitarist Jeff Beck, whose influential career spanned an eventful 60 years, it’s to be remembered that he also recognized beauty in the music of other genres, often consolidating it with his own style.

Among his 16 Grammy nominations (and eight wins) was a cover of “Nessun dorma,” the standout aria from Puccini’s “Turandot,” recognized as Best Pop Instrumental Performance of 2010. Here it is in concert.

Beck also recorded an arrangement of the Adagietto from Mahler’s Symphony No. 5.

Thanks to “The Guv’nor” for helping to get the word out. Good music is good music. R.I.P.
