Incredible!
Coincidentally I just heard the "real thing" this weekend on my dolby surround. I hadn't listened to it for like 15 years, and now I come here to Civfanatics and --- find it again!!
(Wife and kids were gone, so I was able to turn up the volume a bit
I thought I would dig out some old CDs of mine to which I hadn't listened for a long time and got this old recording by Helmut Walcha from 1956 into my fingers. Old, but it still blows your mind away! I found it on Youtube as well:

Just consider that Helmut Walcha (age 49 at the time of this recording) had been blind since his youth...!)
Opinions are divided on this one, but I also like the ochestra version by Leopold Stokowski:

(Which has also been used in the soundtrack of Disney's "Fantasia"...!)
And I would never have believed that it is possible to play this piece on a harp, but it is:

Hmm, I have a couple of copies of Pirates by Sid Meier somewhere. I will have to dig them out and check on that.
Edit Note: There is no way I would laugh about that. A lot of the background music to Bugs Bunny Looney Toons cartoons by Warner Brothers was classical music.
I think the first time I heard it was as a kid when I saw the Jules Verne classic "20000 Leagues Under the Sea". (BTW, another Disney classic...!)
Isn't Captain Nemo playing it on the ship organ at one point?
