Here we see the Baroque repertoire of some important pianists born in the 19th century. It would not be right to refer to a few pianists here as "romantic", but my main intention here is to emphasize that they were born in the Romantic era. I didn't include Bach because historical pianists often played Bach. But here are composers that historical pianists played less frequently, I wanted to compile these rare records.
Baroque period composers included in the video: Henry Purcell, George Frideric Handel, Jean-Philippe Rameau, François Couperin, Louis-Claude Daquin, Domenico Scarlatti, Antonio Vivaldi, Orlando Gibbons, Carl Heinrich Graun.
