Back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, before the Interwebs, I had to travel to the East or West coasts to find recordings like Gilbert’s Couperin, Leonhardt’s KdF, etc. Unfortunately, the Gilbert Couperin recordings, on French Harmonia Mundi, have so much tape flutter that they are, to me, unlistenable. Apparently, this problem is on the master tape or somewhere else early in the recording chain, because it is present in the CD releases as well. It’s a real shame, since the performances themselves are so excellent.
