"Trevor Pinnock's harpsichord concerto's are beautiful all the way through. His playing feels completely spontaneous and is matched with very exciting performances within the English Concert.
This set along with Gustav Leonhardt's, Karl Richter's and Raymond Leppard's (1,2,4,5) provide for excellent listening, especially on vinyl.
Because of the high caliber performances and my preference for harpsichord, these sets (for me) outshine all piano versions i have heard. Perahia is right up there though with some other good harpsichord versions, such as Kirkpatrick (1,2,4,5) and Kipnis.
Incredible that you may need a turntable to hear some of these six great harpsichordists playing these concertos.
I know of no such recordings by Helmut Walcha, who would have inevitably made this list.
