Can you name this version of Hallelujah- originally by Leonard Cohen?

Question

I watched a program this evening which had a version of Leonard Cohens Hallelujah playing in the background. It was slower than usual and there were lots of cellos playing. It was a high pitched voice- thought it could have been a womans or possibly Rufus Wainwright. I know Rufus has done a version of this but i can't remember how that version goes. Any help much appreciated- ta!

EDITTED TO ADD: sorry =/ forgot to mention am huge Jeff Buckley fan and don't think this is a version i've heard from him ... thanks for answering so far however =))

The program was called "Say No To the Knife" ... on BBC three i think- its about people who want cosmetic surgery but two life coach type people try to talk them out of it.

Answer 1

I think it might be Kathryn Williams on her relations album.She has a cellist in her band and has a live version of Hallelujah on this cd.

Answer 2

Thats got to be the late great Mr Jeff Buckley. His version of that song has me in tears every time I hear it.

You can find it on the album "Grace" which has recently been remastered and rereleased...

Its only a fiver and worth every penny.

Answer 3
