I have really been getting into the music of Francois Couperin recently. He is known as Couperin The Great, as whilst there were many musical Couperins going back a number of generations, this Baroque-meister is generally acknowledged to be number one. He created stellar works for harpsichord and also some radiant chamber music. If you are not so familiar with him, here is a useful short article with some superb recommended listening. www.biberfan.org/reviews/2015/1/25/chamber-music-of-franois-couperinHere's your starter for 10; I find Les Nations sublime, hope you like it.

There's only one thing better than a cello; two cellos. Disc 2, tracks 5 - 9. (tracks 25 - 29) Jacqueline du Pré and one of her mentors, William Pleeth. A Couperin cello duet recorded in 1963: part of Les Goûts-Réunis, 13ème concert
You might find Richard Strauss's " Dance Suite from harpsichord pieces by François Couperin" (which I have as part of a Strauss box) set interesting too.
