This is an old recording for orchestra, but I like it. The music is also very beautiful when played with a solo violin/violoncello/flute with piano/harp accompaniment.

I'm a sociable creature, don't be afraid of me because of some weirdness. You may call me an old sinner, but I honor greatly everyone's way to think about different things - as long as they don't hurt anybody on purpose.
