Discography

Marguerite Long began to record on 78t, but her discography is less rich than the one of Jacques Thibaud. Chopin, Debussy and Fauré are the composers she recorded the most.

A recording of Ravel's Concerto in G by Marguerite Long exists, the composer conducting the Concerts Lamoureux Orchestra in April 1932. Unhappily, only a few works are today available on CD. Among them : Milhaud's First Concerto for piano under the leading of the composer.
