Let's not forget the delightful organ concertos, which never fail to bring a smile to my face. Ton Koopman has made some nice recordings of them.

These days I like Christine Schornsheim's set very much. Well played and recorded on a wide range of appropriate instruments.
EDIT: Your enthusiasm is shared by the Amazon reviewers - and it's a far from expensive set (much cheaper than the download)!

Better is Hamelin on Chandos: has the aliveness and delight in the wonderful keyboard writing that the music so asks for.
Best, for me, is Sviatslav Richter in Munchen in 1992: every note is alive, the changeableness and range of feeling all totally absorbing.
Anyone else know first-rate performances of this masterpiece? I know there is a Rubinstein that I had once on LP, and I'd like to hear a fortepiano version too.

Originally posted by Bryn View PostIf the budget runs to it, I would suggest getting all three, LHQ, QM and FQ. .
For the piano works my first choice wd be Schornsheim : but I also like ( a lot ) Staier, Brautigam, van Oort, and Beghin. Hamelin is fun, too.
For the symphonies - so many marvellous choices. Bruggen, Weil, Kuijken, Pinnock, Goodman...
For the Masses I prefer Weil or Hickox to JE Gardiner...
The operas - the Dorati are a bit leaden to my ears. There are a good Armida and Orlando Paladino with Harnoncourt, and a lovely Orfeo ed Euridice with Hogwood.
Weil's Creation and Kuijken's Seasons both very enjoyable.
The piano trios - I was brung up on the Beaux Arts, and still love them - but wd now choose Trio 1790 or the van Swieten trio.
Lindberg has done an excellent CD of the lute/strings works.
Haydn Sinfonietta Wien / Manfred Huss - a good six CD box of of the notturni, baryton octets, concerti a due liri
... don't forget Christophe Coin w Quatuor MosaĂŻques - divertimenti per baryton & notturno per lire organizzate.
... then there all the baryton trios
