Just off the top of my head I know of recordings for string trio,
for string orchestra, for claviorganum, and for an odd melange of
instruments in an arrangement by Uri Caine.  There are several recordings
of a couple of different arrangements for two pianos.  And there is a
previous recording on organ played by Jean Guillou.

Finally, there is Robin Holloway's brilliant rewriting of the Goldbergs,
for two pianos, that he call 'Gilded Goldbergs.'
