Without going too far into a "me too" post, I would only qualify my case
as applying to Bach and the piano, where somehow his music seems so well
suited to the modern grand.  However, I have yet to be convinced that
Handel or Couperin or Rameau comes out as well on the piano as it does
on the harpsichord.  Different strokes....
