Actually, I should have been more precise: Just now, I am listening to a superb concert (recorded on May 13, 2015 in Amsterdam) which was given by Jordi Savall (viola da gamba) & Xavier Díaz-Latorre (Renaissance guitar and theorbo).

Anyway, I could happily die and head to whatever afterlife exists (or doesn't, as the case may be) with this exquisite music echoing in my ears.
Thank you!

Not on Apple Music, but I found it on You Tube of all places! (I guess YT has its uses after all, lol)

New to me and utterly sublime.
 
If I were to make a list of which groups I think are the best Harmonizers, along with the Seekers, the Carpenters, of course the Beach Boys and the Beatles, these guys would be right there near the top.

Delighted to learn that you have enjoyed it; I love this sort of music, and that is a superb concert.

Check out Brandon Acker for some lovely Renaissance and Baroque music: He plays the lute, Renaissance lute, Baroque lute, guitar, Renaissance guitar, and, my favourite of all - the theorbo.

Love old Kung Fu movies (and who doesn't)? Then give this track a spin!
EDIT THE DRAGON by COLOURBOX.
This 80s Brit Duo with the help of Loretta Grahame formed one of the most unique acts of the 80s. Their music smashed together an eclectic mix of soul, R&B, Dub, Sampling and Electronic. Some of their most famous songs are sewn together from samples lifted from various movies. Just Give Em Whiskey and Hot Doggie are their two best known 'sample' songs.

But the sample song I'm presenting by Colourbox today is called "Edit The Dragon", not to be confused with BOMB THE BASS's Into The Dragon LP/CD. I recommend listening to this song with headphones only. Listening without headphones does the song a great injustice. This song is best described as one of the ultimate and original Ear F*cks.

Another group (if you like this style of music, and I do, very much) that is well worth listening to - the very accomplished pair who comprise the duo play a Renaissance guitar and a theorbo - is Lute Duo; look out for their Baroque Insight sequence, also available on YT.
