JOHN TAVENER: CD -DISCOGRAPHY This list contains a complete list of CDs devoted to music composed by John Tavener. It contains also a list of collections (samplers) containing music by John Tavener. Considering the large number of CDs with always the same pieces (in particular "The Lamb") this list is not and cannot be complete. A CD is, however, definitely taken into account if the pieces on it cannot be found elsewhere. The code number is the abbreviation for the CD given in the work catalogues. Below each CD entry you find more details
