One of the great things about YouTube is how easy it is to compare recordings to find 'the best' one. There are thousands of examples where one can compare a vocalist and an instrumentalist playing a transcription. I particularly enjoy Schubert's "Der Erlkönig" in both guises -- because they are different pieces.
First the incomparable Fischer-Dieskau and Moore:
The incomparable Richter plays Liszt's transcription, one which is more muscular and fraught than the original.
To compare these two "incomparable" artists....they both sing!
