Music by other composers conducted by Sir Arthur Bliss

This discography aims to include all published commercial recordings. Recordings are arranged in chronological order for each work, and the various formats in which they have been issued are listed as fully as possible. Much work has still to be done to establishing the dates and places of recording, and to complete the list all published issues.
