Right now, I'm listening to Scarlatti:  Keyboard Sonatas/Mikhail
Pletnev/Virgin D 212324 and I like the recordings very much.  I also have
the WTC Books 1 and 2 by Angela Hewitt, which I also like very much.

I'm wondering if any List members have an opinion about what is gained
and/or what is lost when works for the harpsichord are performed on piano.
If I have the works performed on piano, do I owe it to myself to get the
same recordings performed on harpsichord?

Thanks, a lot.
