Recordings

The following is a list of recordings that feature the Renaissance cittern, bandora, and/or orpharion. While references to albums that use these instruments in consort are included, the listing of individual tracks of an album is meant to indicate a prominent or unique use of the instrument. 

All entries on this page are listed alphabetically by performer or ensemble. However, the entire list may also be viewed in this spreadsheet, which is sortable and filterable by title, performer, publisher, year, and catalog number. Additionally, the spreadsheet includes editorial remarks or descriptions, including some track listings. 

I would like to gratefully acknowledge the generous contributions of Kevin McDermott, Peter Forrester, and Atsushi Ebihara, without whom this page would be half of what it is. Their contributors can be identified by the following initials (all other contributions are mine):

If you would like to make a contribution or correction to this list — or if you are a performer and would like a link added to your album — please contact me.
