Wow ! Despite it seems to be an old recording the tempi are so steady , calm and well choosen. The musical text is very clear. Is this a "revival " harpsichord?
@harpsinth: Hello, thanks for your comment. I'm not sure what you mean by "revival harpsichord" -- the harpsichord used in this recording (Dulcken) is one of the historical instruments of the Nuremberg collection (Germany).
Thank you for your kind comment! I will pass this to Eberhard Kraus' widow.

@ktriebler
today some people call the harpsichords used by pionners like Karl Richter and Mrs.Landowska
( neupert or pleyel brand) , "revival" ones because they were used in early years of revival (1930-1970 ?)
I agree this is not a very clarifying expression to name a musical instrument. Anyway, I am studying this
piece now and your upload was very helpful ! I think Mr. Kraus did a very fine job too ! Thanks !
