Hip hip hooray for Cristofori for making harpsichords but more importantly for inventing the piano!

Stunning Harpsichord Recording
I came across a 2008 Harmonia Mundi release of Purcell's keyboard music today, played on harpsichord by Richard Egarr.
It may help that Purcell is just about my favorite composer, but the recording quality of the harpsichord is stunning. IME the harpsichord has not comfortably translated to audio, but this recording does.
