I enjoy well-played music, of a large number of genres. My ideal tends to be performers who can play (one or more) instruments, ideally move well (dance) and who have a good voice - the latter preferably female and, ideally, soprano.
I found Lindsey Stirling when I was hunting for other performers on YouTube, and I was instantly hooked. The music she plays, much of it her own original work, is full of life, her dancing is incredible, and her performances wonderful.
Lindsey is an American violinist, dancer, performance artist, and composer. She presents choreographed violin performances, many in music videos found on her YouTube channel.
This is her performance of Master of Tides.

This is the German band Faun, which was formed in 1998 and who play "pagan folk, darkwave and medieval music". The originality of their music style is that they fall back to "old" instruments, and the singing is always the center of attention. [Source - WikiPedia]
I cannot understand a word of what Faun are singing (I just barely manage to communicate in English!), but I do enjoy the look of the group, the very good music they play and the "sound" of the songs.
I find that, with good music/musicians, you don't need to understand the words in order to enjoy the performance
This is their song Andro, performed live on September 10, 2010.

This is a video I found when I was looking for works by Jackie Evancho, whose performances I enjoy.
It is an "a capella" performance by Peter Hollens and Jackie, with Peter providing all of the background "music" with his voice.
I am now something of a fan of these performances; although, in this case, I found that the "background" somewhat overshadowed Jackie's singing.
The song is Hallelujah.

By comparison this piece, also performed by Peter Hollens but this time featuring Sabina Carpenter, was much better.
Sabrina has a much stronger voice - or maybe Peter has toned down his performance a little - and the result was more satisfying.
The song is I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.

This is another song from the German band Faun.
I still cannot understand a word of what Faun are singing, but the visual aspects and outstanding musical performance and song more than make up for that.
This is their song Federkleid.

This one is a little more complicated!
It is taken from a YouTube Channel hosted by Geminna, featuring the song Bridge Of Hope performed by Lara Fabian.
The complication come about because a major part of the appeal of the video, at least to me, is the performances by the two dancers.
Unfortunately, I have no idea of who they are. [If you do know, I would appreciate you contacting me to clear up this little mystery!]

I enjoyed this video, since it was a little different.
It features Peter Hollens and Lindsey Stirling together, but this time combining their musical talents - his voice as one instrument and her violin as the other.
The "fun" part is that it is set in the world of the game, Skyrim.
At this point I must hasten to add that I have never played the game, and have no idea of what it is about - I just enjoyed the visual aspect.
The song is, appropriately, titled Skyrim.
