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