This is a "meta-cover", given that Cold is Being was a cover to begin with.
I found this through surfing Spotify for variations of Sting's Shape of my Heart, which I agree with Chris Botti is "one of the most elegant pop songs ever written." If you are not familiar with the song, please seek it out.
Meanwhile, here's Dominic Miller's version of Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor:

If we welcome "meta-covers" here, there's a lot to add. Here are other songs covering Albinoni's Adagio.
Lara Fabian - Adagio
Sarah Brightman - Anytime, Anywhere

If we welcome "meta-covers" here,
I confess: bad idea, in hindsight. :-) I was just overcome by the unexpected Renaissance related late-night find. It wasn't even a meta-cover, strictly speaking.

Esa, I didn't mean it was a bad idea.
I confess that I have bought Sarah Brightman's album Eden and Lara Fabian's single Adagio, at the time they were released, just because they were loosely connected with Renaissance.

And I have been right to do so. It introduced me to the belgian band Hooverphonic, through their song Eden, covered by Sarah Brightman. It's, I think, a fantastic band. Here is my favorite song from them, "Jackie Cane".

Warning: it's in english by dutch-speaking people. It can't upset me but it can upset english-speaking people - or not, I really don't know.

From an interview with Candice Night by Russell W Elliot:
Blackmore's Night's music has remained more or less on a constant trajectory since the first album where you covered the Renaissance classic "Ocean Gypsy." Are there any plans to cover or are there any thoughts of covering additional material, perhaps some of Renaissance's other tunes, or material by other artists?
On the Autumn Sky album we cover an old Kinks song called "Celluloid Heroes." We also did "Highland" which was originally done by One More Time, a Scandinavian band. As far as traditional cover songs we did "Health to the Company" which we heard from a minstrel friend of ours Owain Phyfe as well as "Barbara Allen," which Ritchie used to sing when we was in school.
We usually pick up songs to cover when we have our bonfire parties and everyone sits outside around a big bonfire with acoustic instruments and plays songs that they recently discovered or rediscovered. There are always plans to cover other songs by other bands. Our only criteria is that if we can't give them the Blackmore's Night stamp and make it a bit different than the original, then we usually don't record it.
There are some songs we have attempted to cover but couldn't think of anything to do to them that were different than the original, so they stay on the cutting room floor. But there are so many good ones to choose from.
