Performance of the FVB by Francis Knight
I wonder if these concerts are being recorded. I would pay for a complete recording of the FVB, no matter how many disks it ran into. There are bigger box sets out there! For example the Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi etc. Masterworks sets by Brilliant Classics are 40 CD's. The Complete Bach Edition runs into 180+ CD's and the Complete Mozart Edition runs into 200+ CD's. —Preceding

I very much doubt there will ever be a complete recording of the FVB. There's just not enough demand, unlike for the composers you mention above. I suggest in all seriousness that, like me, you learn to play a keyboard instrument (whatever your age), and you will get ten times the enjoyment from FVB - and all the other composers of this period!

Writing ten years after the above, I am happy to tell you that Pieter-Jan Belder has published a brilliant series of CD's comprising the entire FVB (the last CD is due out at the end of 2019). This is a landmark recording, beautifully interpreted, and you will not be disappointed.

Number of pieces in the FVB
The article says there are "297 separate pieces (actually, 298: one piece is numbered, but is blank. Strangely, the Maitland Squire edition numbers No. 182 twice)", but the number of pieces listed on this page is 283. I don't understand the discrepancy. — Preceding

virginal--not a small portable harpsichord
The virginal takes up about the same amount of space as a harpsichord. It difference is that the jacks pluck far from the nut rather than close, as in the harpsichord, producing a different, less bright, tone. — Preceding
