Brandnew release, the best recording so far of these pieces, methinks, and the first one that is really complete with all repeats and all on one release. Rousset was concentrated and relaxed on that day, the harpsichord used sounds great and is perfectly recorded:

 

Later this afternoon:

Wanted this for a long time but only now found a cheap copy in perfect condition. Four original Italian keyboard instruments from the Nuremburg museum.

This afternoon - excellent recording on two rare original Italian instruments with very individual sound. 

Oh man, this is great. Such a gorgeous sound! Thanks for bringing this up, no way I would have learned about it otherwise.

Mission completed

Just sold my box on Discogs. I thought the performances were stilted and mechanistic, and the instrument sounded tinny. Many many better versions available, IMHO. This one, for example:
