I have a feeling that there may be a general lack of knowledge about his
oeuvre.
Perhaps if you could strum a few bars for us, it may spark a recognition.
Otherwise, It may be up to you to unearth these treasures.

I know that the question is about recordings, but as far as tablature is
concerned
Bergen, (Pergen) Ferdinand Graf von,
Three lute suites in French tablature are
preserved in the Vienna National Library, Ms. Suppl. Mus. 1078, ca 1740.
you'll find that one here
Pls. correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Gallant also imply mood related
to keys, i.e. direct influence on the listeners mood with the music, like f.
ex. indian music claims to do? (The correct term eludes me, I really should
read Farstads book! :)

Thanks for reply and many informations.
So we don't have yet audio recordings with music by Bergen (Pergen).
Did someone see Austrian lute manuscripts? Are there autograps of Bergen
in Vienna, Ebenthal and Goettweig manuscripts or copies?

Here, Let me try.
Galant is the term people who lived in the period from roughly 1720
on to 1790 ( Telemann through Mozart) used to describe certain traits,
attitudes, and manners, associated with the cultured nobility, according to
Robert O. Gjerdingen in his book, Music in the Galant
Hi b-gang,
Losy was an intelligent composer - less is more seems to have been his
case? A very simple Menuet in ms. Wittgenstein f.11r is - at least to me -
a clear proof of his wits. 50 years later some wannabe-Beethoven could have
made his 20-30 minutes symphony out of Losy's less than 2
Arto!
In support of your sublime offering of a Menuet by Losy, I offer one by Adam
Falckenhagen to emphasise that less can be more. When I play this well, not
quite this time, it is just the most sentimental, button-pushing piece of
music, brings a tear to the eye.
Are you speaking of Affekt? Mattheson goes into great detail about the moods
associated with each key, but I don't believe that this is really more a part
of the baroque aesthetic and not typical of the gallant style.
