The Woolley recording is available from Amazon.   I ordered a copy last 
summer, it took a few weeks to arrive, but was well-worth the wait.     
I can also confirm from first-hand experience that Seixas sounds 
particularly beautiful on Owen's do Carmo clavichord -- along with 
Scarlatti, Soler, Haydn and Clementi.
