If “haunting” can mean “hauntingly beautiful”, without anything to do with death or ghosts:
Circa 1967, when I was circa 16 years old, I heard on the radio:
A fully instrumental arrangement of House of the Rising Sun, although the radio announcer announced it by the name Casa Del Sol. It was performed entirely on strings, including bass guitar for the percussion. I don’t know who the orchestra was or the conductor.
I’ve never been able to find it on-line on YouTube. I put up a thread in this forum a while back asking if anyone knew of it, from my meager description. I got a lot of pointers to various renditions, but none was it.
More recently: Woodland Night. I didn’t know the name of this, but I put the question up on this forum and somebody found it for me very quickly.
