All just my personal opinion
Special concert report from ETH Zurich, 2017-01-17: Urte Lucht performing baroque, gallant harpsichord music and Stephan Mester dancing in the style of the Ancien Régime, reciting from a novel and from letters by nobilities of the time
Silvius Leopold Weiss: Music for Lute — Yasunori Imamura (3 CDs); Jacques Duphly: Pièces de Clavecin — Christophe Rousset
Totally addicted!! In most of baroque Europe, the number of chamber music works for deep string instruments is rather small. Also, viols were very popular in France and in England (to some degree), but rarely used in Italy in baroque times, but at the French Court there was an entire school of famous viola da gamba players…
