Two of my favorite - because they're so outlandish - Bearbeitungen are
Robin Holloway's 'Gilded Goldbergs' for two pianos, and Uri Caine's
orchestration (wildly done) of the Goldbergs.  As it happens I've reviewed
both at amazon.com;

You'll see that mine is not necessarily a majority opinion in either case,
