Frank Bridge(1879-1941): a Catalogue of the Orchestral and Choral Music

[Dundonnell]

Since Bridge was in the habit of continually orchestrating works originally written for voice and piano or other instrumental combination this list has been exceedingly difficult to compile.  I have endeavoured to make it as accurate as possible

Just to list some further records I own.
"Summer" : Neville Marriner, Academy SMF, Philips 1997 (contains also "Enter Spring" and "Sir Roger de Coverley".
"There is a Willow Grows Aslant a Brook", Jeffrey Tate, ECO, EMI
"Phantasm", Kathryn Stott and Vernon Handley, Conifer.

[Dundonnell]

Yes, it is difficult to track down all cd recordings of Bridge's music because he has been treated quite generously by the record companies in recent years.

The Marriner recordings are now on a Decca cd. The Kathryn Stott performance of 'Phantasm', originally on Conifer, has now been reissued by Dutton
