Roussel Discography

How the Recording Industry Rates Roussel's Works
Part II, complete works

This page lists the number of recordings that have been made for each of Albert Roussel's works. I've based these numbers largely on Robert Follet's "Albert Roussel: a Bio-Bibliography" (Greenwood Press, 1988), with additions from my own research into recordings made since 1988. My research is fallible (I do have a life beyond the Roussel home page), so don't consider the numbers I give as any sort of gospel. Consider them, instead, as an interesting sidelight on the acceptance Roussel's works have gained.

Below is a table listing the number of recordings for each work (in the column marked "#"). You can also view a page listing Roussel's most frequently recorded works in a variety of genres.
