There are a variety of different whole albums using it, plus some isolated samples: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bpl/larips/cd1003.html http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bpl/larips/cd1002.html http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bpl/larips/recordings.html http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bpl/larips/samples.html For fun last weekend I played through a bunch of Chopin and Beethoven, on our church's piano tuned this way. We're using it (in harpsichord continuo) for some "Messiah" performances this weekend and later in December, too.... I especially like the strong contrasts of expressive character between the several E-major arias and the ones in F and B-flat. The "Thy rebuke" recitative makes a nice effect with its quick changes, too.
