Discocgraphy and links to audio files for Music of the ...



Discography and links to audio files for Music of the Baroque and Music of the Baroque: An Anthology of Scores, third edition, by David Schulenberg (Oxford University Press, 2013)

Part 1 of this file lists recordings for Selections whose scores are included in the anthology. Part 2 lists recordings for musical examples in both volumes. The present file is for the third edition; click here for the discography for the second edition.

This list includes both commercial recordings and links to free online recordings, including several by the author. These links are included for the convenience of students and instructors, but I cannot vouch for their continuing availability, quality, or completeness. The inclusion of any link is not meant as a recommendation for or endorsement of a particular performance, nor is the failure to list any particular recording intended as a negative criticism.

An effort has been made to list accurate titles, label information, and dates for commercially issued recordings. Classical recordings, however, go in and out of publication quickly, and the same recording is often reissued on a different label or as part of a new compilation. Some recordings in this list may no longer be available under the title or label listed here, or the recordings may be available under alternate titles or on different labels (with new catalog numbers).

Most classical music recordings on CD are accompanied by booklets or inserts that include informative program notes, complete lists of performers, and original texts and translations (for vocal works). Although an increasing number of the recordings listed here are also available as downloads from online music sites, the original booklet inserts are not always included. When purchasing audio downloads, check whether the vendor's order pages indicate “booklet / liner notes available” or the like (as on the site ). If available, such files (which are usually in pdf format) should be included in any downloaded material.
