I thank a lot Dundonnell for his fantastic (and uneasy) work.
I add some recordings .
There is another recent recording of the six piano concertos on the Italian label "Phoenix".
The 1925 Symphonic Fragments from "Tre commedie goldoniane " exist also on an "Aura" Cd.
More interesting  further recordings by great conductors, witnessing Malipiero's once influential position.
The Symphony n.4 exists on a live recording by Kussewitzky and B.S.O. (ASdisc- maybe other labels).
The Symphony n.7 exists on a Warner Fonit Cd by Mitropoulos and Torino Radio Orch. (1950 rec.)
The Cantata "Mondi celesti" exists on a Warner Fonit Cd by M.Laszlo sop., C.M. Giulini and Rome Radio Orch.(1949 rec.)
The 1956 "Dialogo VII" (retitled "Concerto") for two pianos and orch. exists on an Olympia Cd (J.Reding-H.Piette pianos, R.Kubelik, Orch.Nat. de France, 1957 rec.).

Many thanks, alberto

You are right....it was not at all easy to compile this catalogue   At one point I was having to translate from Spanish to Italian and then back to Engish
