My favourite cover of "Who By Fire" is by Susanne Wallumrød, featuring Giovanna Pessi on harp and Jane Achtman on viola da gamba [1].
The whole album — a mix of renaissance, baroque, and modern songs (such as The Plaint by Henry Purcell) performed on viola da gamba and harp — is superb.
I love it! Hardly the only Leonard Cohen song that I think would feel at home amongst renaissance and baroque songs.
