Comments:
Information from Bn-Opale plus and harmoniamundi.fr.
Apparently there is some confusion between initial recording of this LP (HMU 414, 1976) and another one released in 1973 bearing the same number (HM 414) and title, the latter being a release of harpsichord music by Marais, D'Anglebert and Forqueray (Leonhardt / Kuijken), later released by Deutsche Harmonia mundi GD77145 (CD). This is probably the result of HM (France) and HM (Germany) breaking their commercial association in 1958.
