Harpsichords..
KharBevNor:
It doesn't come off to me anywhere near how you're seeing it.
I just don't want him dissuaded from listening to Sopor Aeternus!
La Creme:
Harpsichords generally suck, but the Eels song "Last Stop, This Town" uses one wonderfully. If you want some good violin, check out "The Inner Mounting Flame" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The album has some truly excellent and beautiful but also hard-fiddle-tastic violin skills, provided by the virtuoso Jerry Goodman.
Garcin:
Sir Thomas Beecham compared the harpsichord to "Two skeletons copulating on a corrugated tin roof." And, since I've never heard of anything to suggest that Beecham was into skeletons, I'm guessing that this was an unfavorable comparison.
That being said, if you really, really need to hear a harpsichord, then I recommend J.S.Bach - Harpsichord Concerto No. 2 in E major; or in fact any of Bach's Harpsichord Concerto's. IMHO as good as the instrument is going to get.
