    Obviously he is world-famous and highly respected.

    Who am I? Just a listener with no background in music.

    Oh, I was trying to defend Koopman. I mean, his early recordings don't represent him very well...

    Haydn: Complete Harpsichord Concertos
    Ton Koopman (harpsichord) and others
    Recorded 1980, 1982
    Philips 446 542-2 (2 CDs)

    In the early 80s Koopman's playing was still pretty stiff, so this is
    not surprising. (His first recordings from the mid 70s are completely inflexible, unlistenable.)

    Maybe get the organ concertos instead, Challenge Records CC72390...
