Stunning Harpsichord Recording

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?

You need to look up Christopher Hogwood. He pays a lot of attention to historical detail with period instruments and makes outsanding recordings.

if one is referring to pierre hantai's recordings, the earlier recording would represent the performer at a different level of creativity. as for sound, without comparing the two recordings, there is nothing to say.

i think you are on your own, unless you want to own both recordings.

Hip hip hooray for Cristofori for making harpsichords but more importantly for inventing the piano!
Don't pluck it, HIT IT!

oops, sorry, nothing much to do with the thread.
