This review is from: The Instruments of Classical Music: The Harpsichord (Audio CD)

This is from a series of ten cds put out by Laserlight/Delta label.
This cd is very good and offers a nice sampling of Harpsichord music by JS Bach, Scarlatti, and the other big keys in 17th-18th century keyboard music - Sweelinck, sorry guys

This is an excellent cd for anyone interested in the piano predecessor, I have this cd and Vol 8 and 10, piano and organ cds.

Good music, good perfermances, there are better recordsings of some of this stuff out there, but some goood names are on there, including Ton Koopman.
