Clavichord recordings you like.

More Kanji Daito -- this kid's the biz until you start to think about it. When you do you realise that he's playing clavichord like a harpsichord -- no real use of dynamics for example, or vibrato, and the liaisons between the notes is harpsichord like. But still, nice harpsichord performances using a clavichord.

Louis Couperin prelude -- nice to get a glimpse of that score!

Froberger Toccata

In my ears he offers very expressive and idiomatic clavichord playing except for the use of vibrato. There are on youtube also some more of his recordings, Bach inventions among them. I shall listen to these soon.

I was being a hard taskmaster. It is amazing, the quality of musicians coming out of Japanese conservatories today. His website shows a lively person.

Nice Bach Symphonia 1 by Daito here

I think it's a great bit of music, quintessential Bach.

I wish he'd have used a clavichord though, I was led to it after hearing Tuma's (outstanding) performance.

Illuminating that he plays all of the sinfonias both on harpsichord and piano. I might suspect (haven't heard them yet) that his piano touch is a bit harpsichord idiomatic.

Potentially useful authoritative looking discography

I doubt that. They go abroad to study. The system in Japan is not going to produce expressiveness. I know musicians here and a little bit from them about what it's like. The ones we hear from have likely studied abroad.
