Especially the last one I listened to many times - an excellent sounding recording on a beautiful Ruckers-type harpsichord. This music goes back to 100 years before Bach but laid the foundation that he built on, and I think it should be mandatory listening for every Bach fan. These are not just predecessors but fantastic keyboard virtuosos leaving behind some very demanding music for the composer as well as the isteners. Bach studied these pieces whenever he got hold of some. 

The Yoann Moulin disc, btw, is the first of a series covering German harpsichord music between 1600 and the early 18th century - looks like some great anthology in the making.
