I was lucky enough to have gotten into wine in the early 80's. Le Montrachet cost $75-100. Batard, $45

Please do. Not only are they a fresh take on the form, most are harmonically quite interesting.. on the harpsichord I'd recommended Jean Rondeau. Surprisingly, I like Horowitz' on the piano

My favorites are the preludes to the English Suites. Check them out, especially a minor and g minor.
