Here I list some recordings i like very much performed on historic pianos;
there is no real resason in the order, just as I discovered them following my mood ...
but it seems it became a C.P.E. Bach-list.
I enjoy the historic origins of fortepiano very much, indeed.
"Abschied vom Silbermannschen Clavier in einen Rondeau" by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788), performed by María de Lourdes Cútolo in an Anton Tomaschek fortepiano, Viena c. 1855, restored by Leopoldo Pérez Robledo (www.leopoldoperezrobledo.com) - Early Keyboard Music Cycle, Buenos Aires, Argentina (www.cmat.com.ar) - July 12th 2010
The microphone was placed where someone listening in person would be sitting. If you listen to this with good headphones, what you hear will be very much as if you had been sitting there. The sound quality of YouTubes is excellent. But nearly all clavichords on YouTube have been recorded with microphones much closer than your ears would be. The instrument is more related to the builder Friederici.
CPE Bach was known to favor his instruments.

One Comment I would like to quote here also:
"Thankfully, the old museum mentality of "original condition above all else" is slowly moving aside in favour of true preservation and restoration."
