I love Baroque music, but I’ve exhausted Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, Telemann, Albinoni, Pachelbel and Mozart. There must have been some others who bunged out some decent music at the time…surely…can any of you recommend some other Baroque’y music that might take my fancy…especially that written for flute and recorder and/or guitar???
Heinichen (sp) wrote some great stuff. There is a double CD on Archiv that got stirling reviews some years back.
Mozart and baroque? Hm. Well if you stretch it that far, then be sure to investigate CPE Bach.
More about this here.
Try Monteverdi and Scarlatti.
How about Arcangelo Corelli (1653–1713)? Must commend your taste in music—I love Baroque, and can listen to Vivaldi, Corelli and Bach till the cows come home. Then I sit the cows down and make them listen to more music.
Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707).
In addition to writing good pre-Bach contrapuntal music, his name is lots of fun to say!

Fun to say? Pah. I’ll see your Buxtehude and raise you a Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber and Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf.
Try some French Baroque: Jean-Baptiste Lully, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Marin Marais.
(Padre) Antonio Soler (keyboard)
Domenico Scarlatti (keyboard)
Alessandro Scarlatti (everything)
Fernando Sor (Guitar)
Ditto on Mack’s Monteverdi and Earthling’s French guys especially Rameau.
