Re: GG: influence of harpsicord



Yes, let me second the complaints about the sound of the recording.
The voice if the instrument is weak and dry, typical of the early
20-th century "lets build the harpsichord like a piano" school.
I beg people not to judge the sound of harpsichords by this recording.
Now, of course the complete irony is that this recording was my first
exposure to the instrument, and my harpsichord collection is starting
to dominate the piano!
I can poo-poo this recording, but it served as a catalyst for me
to discover a new world.
