Bach's Brandenburg Concerto *
is* lovely, skaltezon.
The players in the two videos you posted are much more animated than I usually see in chamber orchestras. I enjoyed watching them more than a regular orchestra because the players' individual personalities are more pronounced.
You can also see them interacting with each other: they are really
playing...not just playing an instrument, but playing
together. The sort of play you mean when you're a child and ask a friend, "Do you want to come over to play?"

I hadn't thought of there being American Baroque! Thanks for sharing these, Zaqarbal. I particularly liked this video of John Williams that you posted. I'm always pleased to see male classical guitarists who defy social male-female gender conventions for the sake of their music by growing their own picks! :p
Here's a pretty harp piece that is tearfully and plaintively pretty in places:
Handel's Harp concerto in B flat major, HWV 294. If you start listening at 3:42, you'll hear what I feel is one of the sweetest passages in any piece of music at 3:48, and again you hear it at 5:30.
Handel, Harp concerto in B flat major, Op. 4/6, HWV 294
