BAX DISCOGRAPHY

Compiled by Graham Parlett

 

This is a revised and updated version of the discography that first appeared as Appendix 3 in A Catalogue of the Works of Sir Arnold Bax (OUP, 1999). There are three sections:

 

I.   RECORDINGS OF BAX’S MUSIC

II.  RECORDINGS OF BAX PLAYING THE PIANO

III. RECORDINGS OF BAX SPEAKING

 

The first two sections list all commercial recordings known to have been available for purchase together with samplers and free discs given away with magazines. Performances that are due to be recorded or have been recorded recently but not yet issued are marked ‘forthcoming’; older performances that have never been released are marked ‘not issued’. The arrangement is alphabetical by title (ignoring articles and numerals) with recordings listed in chronological order of original issue. Details comprise the names of the performers, the record company or label, the type of carrier (tape cassette, compact disc, etc.), and the record numbers. In addition to standard abbreviations (movt. for movement, sop. for soprano, va. for viola, etc.), the following are used:

 

CD compact disc

DVD      digital versatile (or video) disc (for film soundtrack)

EP extended-play microgroove record (seven-inch; 45 rpm)

LD laser disc (for film soundtrack)

LP long-play microgroove record (twelve-inch; 33^1/3 rpm)

LP-10    long-play microgroove record (ten-inch; 33^1/3 rpm)

MD        mini disc

PP player-piano (pianola)

PR piano roll

SR shellac record (twelve-inch; 78 rpm + a single 80 rpm recording)

SR-10    shellac record (ten-inch; 78 rpm)

TC tape cassette

TP tape (seven-inch reel to reel)

VC video cassette (for film soundtrack)

 

Recordings are stereophonic unless designated (m) for monaural or, in three instances, (m/st) for mono recordings electronically reprocessed to give a stereo effect (RCA Pickwick/Camden and early 1970s Decca Eclipse labels only). At the time of writing (December 2004), the works that have been commercially recorded most often are the Clarinet Sonata (fifteen recordings), Elegiac Trio (fourteen), Fantasy Sonata and Tintagel (thirteen each). No attempt has been made to indicate current availability. Details of non-commercial archive recordings can be found on the website of the British Library Sound Archive: www.bl.uk/collections/sound-archive/cat.html.
