Unless you count a track on "My Favourite Hymn 2000" (available in
all good record stores), I cannot really supply a professional discography and
I am not allowed to stream any of my radio appearances for obvious reasons.
Instead I would like to present my own favourite listening material by way of
recommendation and also insight into my own musical perspective.
If I feel strongly about a particular recording, I have included the relevant
details, but in all other cases I would rather leave the choice of performer(s)
up to you. After all, there are so many great recordings these days.
I haven't mentioned a single jazz or pop work as my tastes change far too often
to make a listing practical.
