Over the last few days:

all excellent stuff ...

 This afternoon I topped it with Korneel Bernolet's recording of Balbastre's Premier Livre:

I finally gave in and ordered a copy, even though I already have at least half a dozen recordings of this collection, but I don't  regret it, it's one of the top three, some pieces he plays better than everybody else. And top sound on a copy of a Hemsch harpsichord. The original is kept in a Boston museum, but it is rarely copied due to its complex construction, which allows many colours other harpsichords do not have, and Bernolet makes great use of them.

Your review is quite mouthwatering ....
