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.

Another exceptional recording with outstanding dynamics is "English Harpsichord Music" performed by Igor Kipnis on Epic Records.

I picked this up for 25 cents last spring in the 4 for a dollar bin at the front of Westsider Records, 233 W 72nd St in Manhattan.
