It's funny how harpsichords only had a short time in the limelight.  However, during that brief time, they showed up all over the place.  Particularly in movie soundtracks.  If the movie happened to be made during the High Harpsichord period, it was nearly inevitable.  There had to be a harpsichord just like there had to be a sleek roadster (preferably British or Italian) -- for that extra whiff of Euro sophistication. . . .  I mean a piano is smart.  And the electric piano is hip.  But a harpsichord!  Come on!  It's no contest!  

 

 

 

GW could make ANY instrument sound good.  I love that stuff.  Seriously.

 

I grew up listening to Wanda Landowska play harpsichord, she was pretty hip!

Even Meade Lux Lewis played some boogie woogie on harpsichord, didn't he? Or maybe is was just celeste.

My favorite remains Secret Agent/Danger Man.

I don't think I've ever heard that.  Sounds interesting though.

Arne Domnerus 6tet (artist EP) 

nice 4 track EP from 1960 featuring Jan Allan, Rune Falk a.o. West coast vibe - not especially Scandi . Reminds me of “I want to live” .

There are a few pieces on which he played celeste, this being among the better known (I think).

There's also a piece on Blue Note 78:

Who was that photographer and how much fussing over fingers was there?

You might think none, and you might be right, but don't bet too much on it. Photo shoots can get incredibly granular.

According to the notes on the back of the cover, the photographer's name is Robert McCabe.

That name doesn't ring any bells for me.
