Earlier today, I listened to:
William Byrd - Keyboard Music Friederike Chylek, harpsichord Qobuz 24/96 To be consumed in small doses. William Byrd's work stands out above all for the variety of genres and structural principles. This is particularly evident in his unique keyboard music. The influence that Byrd also had on the continental development of piano music remains remarkable. With William Byrd, Friederike Chylek follows up on her last albums "From Byrd To Byrd" and "Time stands still". Friederike Chylek plays on a copy of the harpsichord by Matthias Griewisch after Ioannes Ruckers, 1624. © Oehms Classics

George Frideric Händel & Friends - "Mr Händel's Dinner" - Music for the opera intermissions.
Maurice Steger La Cetra Barockorchester Basel Qobuz 24/96 Quite pleasant. Pieces from Händel of course, and Geminiani, Finger, Babell. London in the 1730s. Musical life was flourishing around the figure of Handel. The Saxon composer also served as director; at the height of his fame, he surrounded himself with the finest London musicians, and was joined by many foreign composers to occupy the long breaks between the acts of his lyric works. Their musical interludes accompanied lavish dinners, during which Mr Handel escaped from the pit to indulge his gourmet tendencies. Quite a programme! © harmonia mundi
