Unfortunatly I cannot listen to your example right now , but I may be able to help just the same.

I heard mention of Jazz and Nora Jones , also the Peanuts theme so I will start in that area.....

Personally when it comes to Jazz , I am a Strings and Horns kind of guy.

I will always recomend Rosemary Clooney and Frank Sinatra , but if you want Piano....

Harry Conick Jr. is your sorce. If you are unfamilliar with his sound , he is a modern Cajun Jazz musician with heavy traditional influences.

In terms of Orchestrated music look for these titles:

The Mission Soundtrack. Really powerful music in there.
The Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack. There are some amazing Violens in there but lots of good Orchestrated stuff too.

Henry Mancini . Pink Panther

Also check out these three artists:

Josh Groban , Charlete Church , and Yani.

Now if you are looking for a more ethnic sound , yet high cultured and Instrumental look at these artists:

Irish :

Seamus Connolly
Altan
Joanie Madden
Fiona Joyce
Dagda

and of corse Enya and her sister Maire Brennan

Other :

Dead Can Dance
Lisa Gerrard
Deep Forest
Rusted Root
Vas
Enigma

And a personal favorite : Loreena McKennitt

Now Noras music is somber and sexy , if you want sounds like that some other options may be:

Portishead
Mazzy Star
Fiona Apple
Erykah Badu
Sarah McLachlan

And the Ultimate in sexy Piano : Tori Amos

I really wish I could listen to your example.....oh well. These guys will let me know if I am off-track.
