Note: A number of the recordings above are available in other formats and from different labels as well. I have not tried to list all re-issues and compilations of this material (for example, some of these recordings are available in the US under the Nonesuch or MHS labels). I have given important reissues in brackets, and in particular CD reissues of LP material. I have also tried to include re-releases of CD's in cheaper packaging. Unfortunately, quite a few recordings have not yet been re-issued on CD (items marked with asterisk, as far as I know, have not been). Not all the CD issues are currently available. (Hyperion LP numbers are the same as shown without "CD").
I think that Emma Kirkby appears on all Consort of Musicke recordings, except for the 10 instrumental disks, and three others- two early ones: "The Leaves be Greene" and "O Vilanella", and Coperario's "Songs of Mourning." I have not tried to include all solo and other recordings by other CoM members- including a number of disks recorded by Anthony Rooley, and others by Evelyn Tubb. Other performances I know about but can't find include Andrew Parrott's Electric Phoenix with Emma Kirkby.
