Gritton/Tozer perform the whole cycle in the original keys. Larin and Bedi transpose the lower pitched songs up a third. Del Grande transposes some songs down, a task that over-stretches the pianist.

‡ The Elisabeth Schwarzkopf Songbook (1996): a 3cd compilation with her 14 Medtner songs and numerous transfers of works by other composers
Makushina/Medtner made another unpublished recording of no. 3 for HMV in 1947.
