Index to John Kersey’s online piano recordings

This is an index to the online recordings made by me as pianist that are available to listen via this website.

The recordings marked * are believed to be the first recording of the work in question. In some cases they are the first complete recording of a work of which one or more movements have been previously recorded by others. Although many of these recordings have been issued on CD by Romantic Discoveries Recordings there are also some non-commercial world première recordings that have been released to the public online.

Designation as a world première recording means that the recording has been released to the public in a permanent format, whether digitally online or on CD. The designation is independent from any commercial consideration. It also means that it is the first such release to be made by a human pianist using an acoustic piano; artificial intelligence and MIDI recordings as well as those made on electric keyboards are discounted.

Transcriptions are listed under the name of the transcriber.

Most recordings begin with a short period of silence (up to 15 seconds), which is intended to create the right setting for attentive listening. The majority of the files are in in 128 or 192kbps mp3 quality.

My thanks to everyone who has kindly contributed copies of scores for use in these recordings, in particular the late Klaus Zehnder-Tischendorf, Peter Cook, Robert Commagère, Denis Waelbroeck, Nicolo Figowy and Steffen Herrmann.

“The highest goal of music is to connect one’s soul to their Divine Nature, not entertainment.”
– Pythagoras
