Naxos has a 13 disc box set of 'complete solo keyboard' music by Franz Joseph Haydn that is absolutely wonderful.
Lots of harpsichord here. The music is so charming, so inventive, so engaging. I can put in disc after disc and just listen for hours.
Nice packaging including a booklet and a dvd of performances.
Crazy cheap - around $33-$44 depending on seller - less than three bucks a disc.
Highly recommended! I have lots of classical box sets, this is probably the one I listen to the most.

I enjoy Richard Brautigam's set of Haydn keyboard works played on the fortepiano. This 15 CD set is also very reasonably priced on the BIS label.
The Naxos set looks worth checking out.
Thanks

Yup. It is overlooked.

Here's an alternative worth considering if you prefer the sound of the piano.
Naxos is a world treasure.
Happy listening,

criminally under-appreciated.
For solo instrument, for that matter, so are Mozart's.
One of the Amazon reviewers says this guys hums and sings quietly and you notice it a lot.
Have you ever noticed that?

Yes. Jando isn't as voluble as, say, Glenn Gould, but he is definitely a hummer and you definitely hear it. I find it rather charming, but YMMV as always.
Happy listening,

The Jando Haydn piano sonatas set from Naxos is excellent.
I paid about 25$ for it.
