These are the best covers of the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack on the internet

Beauty and the Beast Emma Watson and Dan Stevens

By Amy MacKenzie

We just can't wait to see the brand new live-action Beauty and the Beast, but in the meantime, here are some of our favourite covers of the soundtrack!

Beauty and the Beast - Forest Piano Cover

Here's a wonderfully evocative instrumental interpretation by Adam Gordon Herd. The pianist says "2°C and raining - perfect weather to lug a 104 year old piano out into the Finnish forest and do some filming." It's his own piano arrangement - get the sheet music here

Prologue - Izzie Naylor

21 year-old self-taught singer/songwriter from the UK Izzie Naylor shot this stunning piano cover in equally amazing locations such as Durham Cathedral (which was also used as parts of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies) and the Disney Store on Oxford Street, London.

Tale as Old as Time - JHMJams

As a way to explore and share his passions aside from his classical training at Julliard, Ken Kubota founded JHMJams and initially gained attention from his unique approach of strumming the cello like a guitar. JHMJams does not have a set instrumentation or members as Ken values the collaboration with his diverse and talented friends and colleagues, as well as his fans. We found the pairing of the string and clarinet in this particular cover of Tale as Old as Time from Beauty and the Beast to be especially beautiful.

Something There - Susie Brown

We are such big fans of the new trend of duetting with yourself (someone needs to come up with an official word for this)! Susie Brown has done just that with her violin arrangement of Something There - the editing is so good you'd think she was playing with her twin! At such a young age, Susie is just getting started as a singer, songwriter and performer, yet her YouTube videos already have over 9million views!
