PI Baroque Keyboard Music

[milk]

Am I correct that there is not a continuing thread here on Baroque Keyboard music played on period instruments (expanding out from the Bach thread)?
Tonight I am listening to Lars Ulrik Mortensen's Buxtehude Harpsichord cycle. I'm finding it so enjoyable that it made me want to read a discussion of Baroque keyboard music in general (also seeing as how there is a great forum on of 'classical' music on GMG).
I wonder what people's favorite compositions and recordings are as well as why people love Rameau, F. Couperin, L. Couperin, Froberger, Scarlatti, Graupner, Handel, etc....

I know you aren't wanting to stick with Bach in particular (thanks god for that!) but there is a very relevant and interesting thread called "Bach on the Clavichord, Lute-Harpsichord etc". Been a lot of contributions there that would interest a Baroque keyboard fan. Also, to add to DavidW's list, there is a thread started by Sonic Dave, which precise name I cannot remember, but it deals specifically with old instruments (The Antique Instrument Thread?? No, not exactly that) and also has lots of interesting info.

Thanks! I'll check out these threads. I always come back to the majestic mountain that is Bach. But I'll also enjoy looking at discussions of these other musical pleasures.
