Fully agree. IMHO Kenneth Gilbert's playing of F. Couperin's Premier Livre
in his 1971 recording has not been surpassed either. 

Interestingly, at least one very distinguished colleague (not a member of
this list) has disagreed with me in public over how "current" is the above
recording. Over the years, I have asked many colleagues in which way K.
Gilbert's playing is supposedly "not expressive enough" or otherwise
obsolete, and if so which are the sources (on historical French Baroque
performance manners discovered in the last few decades) that supposedly
invalidate his playing. I am still waiting for a reply.
