Maria Grinberg: Barock Concert (rec. 1967-69, rel. 2015)
Gorgeous music, although I think Denon's spell checker was barocken. The live performance of six Scarlatti sonatas recorded during the turbulent days of May 1968 is especially moving.

I remember the first time I heard of Robben Ford - well, knew that I was listening to him. I went to a concert at the Carolina Theater to see Ruthie Foster around 2010 or so, who wasn't a new artist at the time but was new to me. Some guy opened for her and tore the place apart. Then he came out halfway through her set and backed her the second half. I was stunned by his playing and kept looking at the program to keep his name fresh in my memory. I couldn't wait to get home and look up this new musician and see if he'd had any albums - surely a guy this good had at least one album out by that point. Imagine my surprise when I discovered he was a grizzled veteran that every blues rock fan was well aware of.
Now when I see he played on an album I'm considering buying, his presence seals the deal. I'm still too much of a behind-the-curve guy when it comes to blues rock to know when he sold his soul to the paycheck. But I hope to keep hearing enough of his music to find out.

You are correct. In German, it should be Barocke Programme, as it is a plural adjective.Featuring Robben Ford before he jumped the shark.

The Gabrieli Consort & Players (cond. by Paul McCreesh) - Gabrieli: Music For San Rocco (comp. 1608, rec. 1995)
Gorgeous collection of sacred works composed for festival days at the Scuola Grande at San Rocco and published under the title "Sacrae Symphoniae". Gabrieli painted on a broad canvas with a full ensemble, organ and choir. Paul McCreesh reconstructed these innovative works and created sparkling arrangements for them on original instruments.

The English Baroque Soloists, The Monteverdi Choir (John Eliot Gardiner, dir.) - Monteverdi: L'Orfeo (1987)
Not the first opera but a landmark. 1001 Classical Recordings You Must Hear Before You Die (generally my source for any pre-1700 posts here) sez:
"In fact, Orfeo stood between two traditions: Renaissance and Baroque. While its large and varied instrumentation and madrigalesque vocal ensembles indicate earlier practices, its organized tonality and emotive vocal writing pointed to the future."
