Baroque: 1600-1750
by RoundTheBend

***Only intended as a listening list for Baroque: 1600-1750***

If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it. (worst joke ever)

Also I decided to go in descending order cause peeps don't really care about early baroque... mostly.

I have spots available for your recs and am happy to compare other recordings you really like instead.

Not sure if I want to dig much further into this period. 100 albums suffice for now, unless of course I'm missing something AMAZING.

If I follow this listening guide, I'll need at least 2 lists (211 Albums, and now more with more sources). I want to do a good survey of more than what I already know, but 150 years of music is a lot to go through...

1750 - one of the last things Bach wrote. No specified instrumentation, so I chose this recording because I felt the voicing popped the most, even if Jordi Savall's recording probably is another great selection.

I chose this recording because it felt exactly what it should be, celebration music.

I know everyone loves Mr. Gould. Somehow I don't, and this was meant for harpsichord anyway.

I can’t wait to get around to this chart. It’s a prime example of why I come to this site. I’d like to cull through your pre-Baroque chart first, but I’ll be back.

I didn’t see one...are you going to do a Contemporary chart?
