Logo Société Frank Martin CDs

The following CDs are available at reduced prices for members of the "Société Frank Martin". They are devoted exclusively to performances of works by Frank Martin at which the composer himself has collaborated as pianist, conductor or adviser at the main rehearsals of a new work. These performances are therefore authentic and comply fully with the composer's intentions.

Most of these CDs are also available at disc-shops. There are about another 100 CDs on the market which are not under the auspices of the "Société Frank Martin". These include about 40 devoted exclusively to works by Frank Martin.
