Stunning Harpsichord Recording

i find that the cd labels i have mentioned preserve the timbre of the harpsichord. accent, naive, astree, some of the sophie yates recordings on chandos and most of the recordings on the glossa label are worthy of audition.

you can find these recordings on amazon.com .

if you want specific performances, please let me know. i'll browse through my cd collection and provide titles.

Specific performances would be great, when you have the time. I'd be more comfortable starting with known quantities to get a sense of how the recordings should sound.

Ralph Kirkpatrick's Goldberg Variations on Archive.

here are some recordings by the harsichordist, pierre hantai:

scarlatti: 22 sosnats pour clavecin astree e 8502
scarlatti: 1 mirare mir 9918
scarlatti: 2 mirare mir 9920
bach: goldberg variations opus 111 3084

sophie yates:

fandango--scarlatti in iberia chandos 0635

trevor pinnock:

chromatic fantasy and fugue: archive arc 2 533402

some of the above may be hard to find, or may have been reissued. hope this helps.

Thank you. That is very helpful.

One question: Do you recommend the 1993 or the 2000 version of the Goldberg Variations?
